Don't be afraid to make your needs and worries known to your doctor. You are correct that treatment the sooner the better. I hope you get better, and that this condition settles down. I also feel for the loss of your dance. It hurts a person to give up something they are clearly love. Pointe dancing is an art form, and I am sorry that your foot hurt you. I also lost a career due to my cervial problems. You are young, and that can be to your benefit. I hope you get into seeing the very best specialist as soon as you can. You can also go to a pain management Physician to get care until your appointment. You have found a compassionate site genni, and you will also make a few new friends. I wish you all the best. ginnie
