Orthotics & Relieving Foot Pain
It took a little over a week for me to really get used to wearing the foot orthotics. Each day was a little less painful.
It was one of those things that I couldn’t decide if the pain from the orthotics was worse that the pain I was having from the foot pain before.
But not one to give up I am going to keep wearing the orthotics and see how it goes.
I saw my podiatrist again today and she decided to start me on another round of steroids to see if that would help, especially since the first time I was the steroids I was still walking around on the broken fibula without it being immobilized.
My feet hurt! They really hurt… with every step… I so need something to really work. I am definitely getting a lesson in patience and I am really learned that I am not all that good at being patient!
So I stopped by the pharmacy to pick up the steroids right after my appointment. I will start taking them in the morning.
I am worried though… the last time I took them I had trouble sleeping and felt like I had a constant headache. But if it will help with the foot pain, the high sprain, the plantar fascitis… well then I will take the medicine.
I’ve continued with the foot stretching exercises my podiatrist suggested and I’ve continued to ice and elevate my feet.
Time will tell if this next round of steroids will help.
