Podiatrist

[grayestofghosts]

I went to the podiatrist today for a problem that I've honestly had for almost fifteen years but has been steeply getting progressively worse in the past year or so, to the point where I can barely walk the half mile to the library without my feet going numb. I left with a script for a strong NSAID, an MRI test scheduled in a week, and a follow up in two weeks. I asked him if I was still all right to walk distances and he said it should be fine, but then said that if it hurts, don't do it.

"If it hurts, don't do it."

This is still a totally novel concept to me, but I guess it's worth a try?
