I got pics of my foot during surgery and pics of it a week after the operation. I’d love to share it with people and discuss how neat the human body is. I don’t want to subject people to it who aren’t interested in it, though.

    It’s fantastic when you get someone like that, it’s so rare to be able to geek out over the medical stuff and not scare anyone lol

    Glad you are healing well, chronic pain is such a bundle of sticks. I hope something is found and works well to keep you comfortable

      Thank you. My psychiatrist found out I’ve been depressed lately because of everything when my mom mentioned it during her appointment yesterday. I didn’t think I needed seen because this situation of mine is temporary. The doctor immediately scheduled an appointment for right then. He upped my antidepressants and prescribed a medicine that should hopefully help with the nerve pain. I ended up crying like a baby because I didn’t realize how bad I’ve been emotionally. The nerve pain medicine should hopefully help me sleep as well. I’ve barely been sleeping because of my leg.

        I’m so glad you have fantastic support around you. Pain is something I’m forever telling the folks I care for to not put up with, even if you feel it’s OK just keep up with the pain relief. You might think everything is “normal” without even realising how bad things have gotten.
