Stress Fracture After All

[madison1101]

Hi Everyone,
Well, it turns out that I have a stress fracture in my foot bone after all. I finally saw my first orthopedist, and wish I had called him originally when I first was told about my foot, but c'est la vie.

I now have to get an MRI, and then he will know better what course of action to take. At this point, I have been walking on it with a special boot, so he figures a few more days of that won't hurt.

I have been able to get a prescription for a medication that is not as addictive as narcotics. My therapist at treatment group is okay with me taking it, and I am not abusing it because it is not giving me any kind of high, or kick. It just helps take the edge off the pain.

I have not been to a meeting since Sunday, due to being in a great deal of pain at night, and not being able to get up in the morning. I am hoping to be able to get up in the morning and get to my meeting. I need a meeting, and am really grateful that I have good ones to go to, like my 6:00 a.m. one.

Thanks for being here.

Hugs,
Trish

Good to know it's something that can be worked with.

Glad to hear this doctor found out what it is, and it can hopefully be fixed.
