Default Saw a podiatrist yesterday

It was a great experience. He was a very proactive doctor, even if he was just a consult. I only needed a different "shoe" to wear when I leave the house because I've been still in the boot from the original injury. It was too much to wear now with no more fracture or sprain, etc.

Well, he knew his stuff. He got me a fracture shoe to wear. He was appalled at how worker's comp was treating me and was going to write a strongly worded letter to them about how denying my doctor's request for the nerve blocks was tantamount to malpractice.

X rays show the little dots of loss of bone density (forget the fancy word for it) that happens in CRPS). He also wrote me a prescription for lidocaine patches I can put on the worst part on my foot.

But the biggest thing he said was "If you do only one thing, the most important thing is put your foot in warm water and move it around. Warm water and move it!" So, that's my homework.

Big take-away - remember you HAVE to move your affected limb. HAVE TO.
