Thanks everyone. It's been a tough weekend for me. It has spread to my arm.

I have been doing nothing but icing it for seven months.

I am just so scared. I think I have to start with a neurologist right, before going to a pain center? The pain center at MGH wouldn't talk to me until they receive a fax from my PCP, so I am working on that.

I feel desperate for a nerve block. I feel like that's my only hope to be pain free again. I can't live in pain for the rest of my life, I just can't do it. I'm not strong enough. The only thing that got me through the last seven months was the belief that the problem would get fixed, and now that hope is dead. I feel so upset that none of my ortho doctors knew. I've gone to five. I thought I was doing everything right and I was doing everything wrong.

Thanks again. I'm sorry I'm such a big baby. I just don't think I can do this. I have kids and I want to run with them. It's in both my ankles and now I feel heat in my right arm, where I got a sunburn two weeks ago.

Thanks for listening, you've all been very kind.
