Well I have had a good doctor or she has given me the right injections/ I don't have much swelling most of mine is the pain and osteoporosis in my foot. I guess mine isn't hitting me as fast as some of u. I have received probably 6 to 8 injections since nov of 2008, I can write them down and send them to u.I think 3 sympathetic nerve blocks for the foot and at least 3 epidural blocks for my back because of the pain in my lower back .I work 12 hours days at the most 4 days in a row, but on my days I work I don't drive my husband does & don't walk any further than I absolutely have to, but I still take the pain med and cymbalta and then on my days off I might sleep all of one day. Then the next day I try to do some housework and things, but the last 6 months haven't got much accomplished. I figure if I am still working, My husband should not be mad at me..I wear 2 pair of the worlds softest socks from Hanes and at least 1 super duty insole or maybe 2 if I have them and they will fit in my shoes.. At work I do get to sit when I want too. How long have u had your diagnosis.?? I have been buying a little bit bigger shoe. and At work I do have to wear steel toe shoes.. That really sucks!!
