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

This is very angering! You have every right to feel the way you do. 7 years is a LONG time Misguided directions from Drs sends us in circles, not to mention like you said, the cost. This is why so many people like us end up here - frustration and hopelessness.
Through prayer and faith we end up finding a good doctor somewhere along the line....could be years. I guess this proves to build our faith (?).....but we sure are allowed to have anger moments along the way. Praying for this surgery to be the final step for you Ginnie. Rae |

Yes I am praying today. For guidance right now. I know my left foot will be OK in time now. The right one, he is not going to do the MRI on until after I heal up. He is hoping that it was just the bad walking gait that I had, threw off the other foot, and thats why that one hurts. I don't think he wants to over whelm me at this point. One at a time... I still am not sure if I want to take a legal action for mal practice or negligance (spelling). I am indeed that up set. In fact I can't eat right now. I am happy on one hand to get an answer, but on the other hand so angry at the other doctor. I don't know how to reconcile those emotions. They don't mix too good. Any ideas? ginnie

is certainly easy to say......but still we are left here with these feelings of being robbed all these years off our life. And to boot, we have been misled by someone we trusted and paid a ridiculous amont of money to.
We can still Let go and Let God, but I don't see what it would hurt to go back to that original doctor and request all the doctor and procedure notes, and anything else you can think of - including times when you've gone back to him stating that nothing he did has helped. Hopefully they haven't discarded all this information. This way, you have this information so that no one can say it's your word against theirs. Especially if anything this other Dr did caused you more harm than good. From there, just go with what the Lord guides you to do. From the sounds of what you are saying, it might just do you some good to pursue this a bit. Nobody likes to feel as tho they don't 'count'....as your doctor sort of left you high and dry. If there were a way he could somehow be made aware of what this has done to you. I'm so sorry what this has put you through..... Rae |

I too am well acquainted with anger at being soaked, duped and made worse. In my case my anger is more directed at myself than the doctor who put me in a wheelchair. My advice is to do what ever helps you to work through that anger. Taking legal action my be the path that gets you there but it could also keep you tied to that anger which might negatively effect your recovery.
My prayer for you is that you do whatever you need to do to get better. I am so excited that you have finally found a solution and a doctor who can help you. For me-working real hard to reverse the damage, get out of the wheelchair and move on with my life is the answer. Yesterday a friend, who had a similar result with the SCS, asked me how I can cope with all the anger of being maimed by the doctor who put me in the wheelchair. He commented that I am not yet back to the point to where I was prior to the implantation of the Spinal Cord Stimulator that caused the spreads. Amazing as it seems, I had never looked at it like that. I just focus on where I am now and the fact that I am getting better each week, despite the fact that most people who experience serious CRPS spreads from SCS don't improve. I also focus on the fact that now I am a better consumer and advocate for myself. You are too and that is the best skill to acquire no matter when and how we acquire it. The glass is indeed half full! I know your glass is half full too. May 2 is just around the corner. |

I am trying this morning to breathe deep, and stop crying. Maybe I just need to cry awhile and then I can get down to the business of getting ready for may 2nd. I am not dong anything legal right now, just can't and cope at the same time with what I know is coming. I am not so good with emotions when I get like this, so I am doing all I can do to get past it. didn't sleep so good, so I will read and try and take my mind off it. I just don't understand why someone I trusted hurt me like that. I am glad I was my own advocate, or I never would have found this solution to my ankle problem at all. I thank God for this site, as it gave me the courage to persue and not stop trying to find a solution. I will be OK, I know I have the support of you and so many good folks on this site. That is such a comfort. I know I am cared about too, and I will get through this one way or the other. I would rather go to surgery with a smile. I now am waiting for my pain specialist to call me, and figure out what to do pain wise for after surgery. Thanks James, I am trying. ginnie
