Guest guest Posted November 13, 2006 Report Posted November 13, 2006 I am having some time & thought I would let you all know what I have been up to. As far as my back is concerned, I am doing well. I was supposed to see Dr. Bridwell this past week for my 6 mo c/u, but actually went in a few weeks early as I was having some bad pain. He said that nothing was wrong (at least all that he could see on an Xray & didn't know where the pain was coming from. It seems to start in my right leg & I really think that it is a muscular problem. It almost feels like a muscle tear. When it hit's, I am down. Because of that I haven't been doing as much walking as I should as I am afraid of setting off another bout, but if it is muscular, I know that I have to excercise it, so.. anothe vicious circle. I think that when I see him in Jan., I am going to ask Bernie to set me up an appt. with the PT he uses. She really knows her stuff, and then I can continue to work with one here. I had some minor foot surgery last week. I was asked to wait until after the 6 month mark to have it, and I wanted to get it in before the end of the year & had to start deductibles all over again. I have been having a problem with this foot for awhile now, and I have been postponing it until surgery was really necessary painwise . I have something called hallux rigidus, and in layman's term's it causes your big toe joint to fuse together, so over the years it has caused the toe to move inward. The funny thing is that it usually occurs in athletic people, especially runners as over time your gait is thrown off. My gait problems, obviously, were from my back, but it's ironic as I am the most unathletic person ever. Thank God for good metabalism, or I'd be in trouble. Anyway, that's all the news I have for now (all that's fit to print anyway) HA, HA I am so jealous of you guys & your ability to get together. Please remember that we are all not barefoot & pregnant down here in the South, & we have beautiful mountains & lakes, so y'all come down here sometime! And when you do, call me! Nan Quote
