Default Thanks Rrae

I am so blessed to know you. Yes, I posted somewhere all the results. I get my foot rebuilt on May 2nd. I am having anger issues at my former ankle specialist. If he didn't know what my problem was, why did he just guess, soak me for money and let me me in pain for 7 years? It isn't the actual bones, but the supporting structures. I have a tear in the archilles tendon, and a tear in the post tibial tendon, that pushed my heel to the outside of the foot, and caused the whole foot to colapse. Big big surgery coming and intensive weeks of no weight bearing, lots of therapy. He isn't investigating the other foot, in hopes that it was just my walking to cause the pain, and not a re-pete of this foots problems. Toe joint replace ment is out too, the failure rate is way too high. that will be fused, four weeks after the origional surgery. I have alot wrong, and my anklespecialist, never did an MRI to find out what was wrong. My anger is really up there, as I have been in pain for 7 years. Why did he not send me to someone who could find out? Also my pain specialist thinking this wasn't such a big deal, cut my meds, until a wheelchair was presented to me. That is why I tried to get the help on my own. I was not ready to give into a wheel chair. Why I ask did this other doctor, not admit he didn't know what was wrong, and instead soaked me for thoursands in orthodics, and braces that did absolutly nothing! I am in need in anger management today....what should I do, if anything, just soak it up and let some doctor ignor me? ginnie
