More foot frustration

I called my family dr on Tuesday, to try to get an MRI ordered.  I was assured I would be called back late in the day on Tues.  No call.  So Wed morning, I called again, and she told me he was working on "my case" right then, and she'd call me back yet this morning.  So at 4:20 I still hadn't heard from her, and called again.  The dr doesn't want to "throw more tests" at my problem, especially an expensive MRI, and would rather wait for me to see the rheumatologist on June 18, to see what that dr wants to order.  However, a rheumatologist doesn't deal with tarsal tunnel syndrome, and I have so many symptoms that fit tarsal tunnel - I want to rule that out.  My family doctor's office is closed on Thurs (of course), so now I'll be waiting until Friday to even hear back, let alone get anything scheduled.  *sigh*

I will call on Thurs and get an appt to see a different cardiologist to test out the peripheral vascular disease theory, but I imagine it will be a while before I can get in, as those doctors rotate to Seymour from St Vincents in Indianapolis.  But I might as well get the ball rolling.  I can always cancel later IF we find a cause.

Prayers much appreciated.
