Yesterday I missed a dose of Lyrica. I didn't realize it until I started feeling pain in my foot on the bottom close to my toes. It hurt so badly that I started rubbing and then finally I noticed there was a lump on the bottom of my foot. So I had my husband look at the bottom of my foot. Seems there is a little hair buried in the foot. (little dog with coarse hair). We did the sterilize the needle thing and he opened it up about a 1/4 of an inch and was unable to get to the hair because it hurt so badly. I now have an appt with the podiatrist tomorrow and they are very anxious to get me in. Tried to today but couldn't.
I have said before that you need to have someone inspect your feet often. I can't see the bottom of my feet due to knee replacements. There is no way I know how long that hair was buried and I probably will have to have it surgically removed.
Seems I need to take my own advice. I would not have noticed if I hadn't missed the medicine dose.
