More on the topic of foot pain

[Guest guest]

My foot pain has beeen a constant part of my life now since 2 months

after getting implants, never ever had a problem with any pain before

that. It started really suddenly, with it being almost the entire

foot underneath and even my toes hurt, I remember trying to figure

out what on earth could cause this, I was swimming at the time and

thought somehow I was hurting from this? Ha well time went by and it

just got worse and worse, the arch and the heel and there were days I

would have to go in the bathroom at work take off my shoes and rub my

feet and cry and pray to god to just let me live another day it was

so terrifiying, the brain fog was thick and bad and I had severe

anxiety attacks at times too. Well, now the foot pain has gotten

better to a point, and seems to have all moved to two spots on each

foot, the back part of the hell, towads the ankle so actually not on

the bottom part but just up as it curves, it feels so sore, my hubby

rubs them for me everynight and it just baffles us both how come it

hurts right there where there is no muscle or fat, just bone, it

certainly could be a bone spur, but wouldn't you feel that? I don't

understand why the pain would all just accumulate in this part of the

body, it seems strange, also my hands are simiiar they have improved,

in the beginning it was bad with some of my fingers aching so bad it

drove me nuts and even one was totally numb, and then the pads of my

hands below my thumbs hurt as well, really bad, almost the same pain

I had in my feet, I found it to be strange, it was like all my

extremeties were messed up, my head, my feet and my hands all

painful, well my hands still hurt a little in the same part on the

pads, and the heel thing, I do have general body aches, but those are

more or less mild compared to the feet and hand thing and sometimes I

feel they are mostly brought on by exercise than anything else, what

a mystery this all is, how can breast implants affect such specific

things as this, it is so confusing to me. I wish someone had the

answers.

Anyhow that is about it from me. I am learning the guitar right now

and find that I don't have allot of stregnth in my fingers, which is

making it tough, but I am determined to try to learn, my husband

plays and is very good, so I want to try.

Well any other ideas on the foot thing? I am thinking maybe

acupuncture again, it helped but it was so expensive, eek. I go see a

new rheumy on the 17th so maybe he will have some new insight, but I

am not counting on it.

Have you checked your health insurance to see if they

cover acupuncture? Many insurance companies now include

acupuncture and massage in their benefits. My

experience is that most companies will allow 10

visits/yr and you pay the copay.

The last 3 insurance companies I've had have all covered

acupunture and massage. My current one covers them

both, but only allows up to $1000/yr, but no copay each

time. However, once I hit $1000, then I have no more

alternative therapy benefits.

Just a thought for you to check into your insurance and

see just exactly what they offer.

I also found that acupuncture helped me immensely with

my foot pain, arthritic pain, back pain, and migraines.

Also, when I had my sternal infection after my open

heart surgery, and I just wouldn't heal (I had an open

wnd that I was packing with nugauze 2x/day. The wnd was

all the way down to my sternum) I had acupuncture

needles placed around the wnd, and within 2 wks, the wnd

was significantly closed and obviously healing.

But I would recommend double checking your insurance.

Also, if your insurance does not cover it, sometimes

insurance companies will agree to pay for alternative

therapies if it is recommended by a doctor.

e I am going to check it out, my old insurance in CA didn't

cover any alternative stuff which I thought was ridiculous seeing as

how they were spending way more on my meds and MRI and all the other

stuff then to just pay for the darn accupuncture. Iknow it works

cause I had about 10 sessions of it when I was first getting sick

from my implants, I can tell you that at that point I was so sick I

couldn't even hardly walk a mile without feeling like colapsing and

the accupuncture helped enough that I was able to contiunue to work

and work out, I was sick but I always had that thing in me that kept

me going, don't know how but I did, throughout my illness I never

called in sick to work, (figured if I keeled over I was in the best

place anyhow working in the ICU) ha ha, and also I think that

attitude is almost as important if not more important than diet or

detoxing or any of this stuff.

anyhow that is my opinion on that ha ha
