Guest guest Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Just curious if anyone here has had a sharp pain in the area between the arch of your foot and your big toe. Not the bottom though, closer between the middle and top if that makes any since. It started a couple of days ago and then went up my leg to the outside part of my leg below the knee, it never went up any further. It started the next day in my other leg. It isnt as bad now, just more of a dull pain but still hurts. I called the drs office and got so aggravated. They made it out to be sciatica. I kept telling the PA that it wasnt going down my leg and then she would comment again about pain shooting down my leg. I made it clear three times to her, it wasnt going down it was coming up from my foot but wasnt the same kind of pain as sciatica. Boy do I already know what that feels like. It makes you wonder if they suffer from lack of memory or stupidity. I never call the drs office and complain or ask for meds unless I am in so much pain I cant stand it. Which has been maybe three of four in a years time, so I know that it isnt because they are tired of me calling. I dont even take pain meds unless I am hurting really bad. My body doesnt react to them very well. I get out of whack and all emotional. I hate it. Cant win for losing. Anyways, she told me to take some Aleve over the weekend and she would try to call me back on Monday. I thought to myself, TRY! I just said ok, hung up and got up. Which isnt me at all. I just get tired of dealing with it and getting nowhere. Sorry I am going on and on. I just really needed to get this out. I had a bad weekend and still am. I wanted to come here earlier today but the pain going down my arms was so bad I didnt want to type. I hate all of this. I am nowhere near the person I was before my accident. I was full of life, outgoing, I exercised, rode my bike an hour a day, took the kids to do things with them. When I wasnt at work, we were never at home. Now I dont do much of anything but complain. By b/f loves to go and do things, he is active like I was a year ago. It is so unfair to him and my kids. My 17 y/o had to go and live with my aunt and uncle due to do all of this. He had a kidney transplant two years ago and still has appts he has to go to. Most of the appts. are in Gainesville, Florida. I cant even make the drive to take him. Nor could I continue to take him to school. I feel like a test animal that has been caged up for the drs and the insurance company to do what they please with. Isnt that an awful thing to say, but it is the way I feel. Ok, I will stop ranting now. Just needed to get it out. Just glad to know that there are others out there that know what I am talking about and dont get frustrated for me going on about it.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Larry, Isn't there anything out there that can get you to sleep even a few hours every nite, or has your body become immune to sleeping meds? On bad nites, I'm still able to take an anti-anxiety pill, even though I have sleeping pills. I try not to take them, my teeth are getting really bad from dry mouth, but dr. says we need sleep to help heal our bodies, we've probably all been told that at some time or another. You must feel like a walking Zombie, it must be torture to constantly not be able to sleep and be in pain, I'm so sorry- Larry Gullahorn <lagullahorn68-69@...> wrote: HI LOREY,I'VE NOT HAD MORE THAN 4 HOURS SLEEP SINCE 4PM LAST FRIDAY.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Hi Lori, I had that pain for many years but it was caused by my bunions. It's an awful pain especially if you have to be on your feet for any amount of time. Since my job does require that I be on my feet and moving constantly, I've found that Quark or Croc clogs are great. They come in many colours so I have fun buying all the colors to match my scrubs )) Since I've had bunion surgery, the pain isn't that bad but now, I have pain running down the inside of my leg to my ankles. It feels like it is in the bones and is very painful. I don't take any pain meds except for an anti inflammatory occasionally. I do have a problem with narcotic pain medications.... I like them too much and they like me and we become very dependant on eacy other )) So, my options are limited. Anyway, I don't know if this helps or not. But good luck with your journey finding an answer. Peace always, ann > > Just curious if anyone here has had a sharp pain in > the area between the arch of your foot and your big > toe.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 -Hi Lorey I had pain in my foot that used to sometimes go around my whole foot sometimes it was just between my big toe and on the top of my foot, sometimes it would go up my leg which it did alot. All of this was due to sciatic pain. It started 6 yrs ago in my ankle and got worse each year, even after my first surgery it got alot worse so bad to the point I could barely walk at all sometime. So yes I think what you are describing is caused by your sciatic nerve. Hard to believe that nerve can affect your foot as much as it can. If you go to the links section and look up " Dermatone Map " you can go to the map and pinpoint any part of your body that hurts and it will tell you what is cuaing pain there. If you need anymore help with this just let me know I should be an expect at this after 6+ yrs of dealing with it. Thankfully since my last surgery it is a little better not gone by a long shot but not as bad as it was before it either. Now I just pray for the pain I have now not to get worse. I know that poor nerve is so damaged now from being squsished all this time I will be lucky if it totally goes away and doesn't get worse again. All I can do is pray that doesn't happen Hang in there I hope the map explains it more to you than I can here.
