How time flies.
So, Foot is OK, but, there is a problem which I still havent gotten to the bottom of.
As I stated in my last update, the MRI showed a bit of a problem with the area around the cotton osteotomy - ie, side of the foot where he put a bone graft in to create more of an arch.
Having seen him, I now understand more of what the report meant. Bottom line, there is incomplete healing in the bone.
Now, what he said was - the MRI can be a bit too sensitive, so, he referred me to have a C.A.T. scan. Ive had that done, and now wait to see him again - on the 22nd of this month. He did say that if the C.A.T. scan confirmed what the MRI was showing - ie, that the bone hadnt healed, then basically it wouldnt heal and I would have to have more surgery to correct it. As much as I dont want more surgery, to be totally honest, if that is what is needed to get rid of this awful pain, then so be it. I can only describe the pain as a sudden stabbing pain, that literally takes my breath away. Thankfully, it doesnt last all the time, but if I have been doing a lot, I end up with a lot of pain. So, I would really like to get to the bottom of it. I notice now that my right foot is great. Gets a bit achey, but thats ok. Its expected. I havent been able to strengthen it up because of the other foot.
I have to say, I cannot wait until I can walk comfortably again for enjoyment. Im so sick of knowing that any amount of walking is going to cause the pain.
I will report back on how the appointment goes. Will be interested to see.
