Help!

[Guest guest]

Hello.

I swear, if it isn't one thing going wrong around here...it's

another. I tripped over the cat in the dark a few nights ago and my

foot was sore instantly. Nothing major....just hobbled back to bed.

Now, since I started a flare today, I can't put any weight on my foot

this afternoon. I was limping this morning, now it's become so much

worse. I go to my doctor tomorrow afternoon, and he might send me

for an x-ray. Not sure what he'll do.

I am a total wreck here. I have kids to take care of, my boyfriend

is gone to a meeting until 10:30pm, I have to take care of two young

girls tomorrow morning, and the parkade where my doc is located is

closed for renovations. I have to park and walk a couple of blocks

(provided I can even get a spot!). To top it off....I don't know how

the heck I am supposed to walk up the stairs/ramp to the building,

make my way to the elevator, then walk down the long hallway to the

office. I have crutches, but I don't have the strength in my

hands/wrists/elbows to use them.

I am so sorry to vent here, but there is nobody else around that

would understand. I hope and pray that this isn't a stress

fracture. What worries me most is that it's only the one foot I hurt

a few days ago, and the other foot is no worse/stiff than usual.

It's odd to have this much pain located in one area. When my RA

flares, I get it all over - both sides.

Thanks for listening....just needed to get it off my chest.
