I've had a job in retail sales for over two years now and I'm almost 54 years old and with MS.

I broke my left foot several years ago following a flare up and steroids.

I stand all day for sales and I have pretty bad varicose veins in my left foot and ankle.

I'm having fairly severe pain in my left foot and I need to do something about it.

At work if we need to have a chair we need to have a doctor's note to do so. I've made an appointment for a local GP to get the note and next week I see a vein surgeon for a checkup for the varicose vein problem.

They don't know about the MS at work and I plan on keeping it that way. I've always been the strong type and I feel guilty for needing a chair at work. I guess I'm wondering if this foot problem might be more than varicose veins, hoping it isn't something in the bones or worse yet, an MS problem.

Thanks for reading.
