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?

Ugh that sucks? Like seriously, my heartfelt sympathies. I’ve got a pretty bad deviated septum apparently? Like, my doctor was surprised I didn’t have serious breathing problems bad. Still, not as bad as random walking issues that have been getting worse. I know how much you liked to run too, so, yeah. Hope that gets figured out quick.

I'm not sure if I like to run. I like to walk. I ignored it when running up until the point that it's given me trouble walking.
