bone scans. i forgot about those. i had them done on both feet when they were looking to see if i had charcot foot because i had rebroken both my ankles a number of times as well as bones in toes. i didnt have charcot foot. i kept breaking my ankles because i kept turning them violently because i couldnt feel them going on eneven surface. broke toes because i couldnt feel myself hitting things with foot while walking so i hit some hard surfaces like a diving board support pretty hard. that phase seems to be behind me now, i havent broken anything in a while. Mrs D is right, a bone scan would be called for.

It might be best to see an orthopedic MD rather than a podiatrist.
They usually do the bone scans.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Everyone, seriously, you've all helped me feel *so* much better.

Also, regarding suicide -- I've already contacted a therapist and I plan to begin therapy as to come to terms with the new situation. This type of health problem isn't like anything I've confronted before, it's time for me to handle this and prevent myself from losing sight of what's important...which is that life is *always* worth it.

Much love to everyone, I'll keep you all posted as this journey progresses. Thanks again for the kindness, support and feedback.

Hi - I have been thinking about you and hoping you are doing a bit better - at least mentally. Praying for you both in health and love. Just wanted you to know people are out there for you and hoping you get the help and relief you deserve.

Get a MRI/Bone scan. Good luck
