The orthopedic surgeon was really not much help. He did agree to do an MRI on my right foot, but it'll be scheduled in the next week or so, in Seymour (nearest "big" town). The dr said I could have mild Raynaud's, and possibly mild tarsal tunnel, but he really doesn't think the MRI will show anything.
I'm VERY frustrated. So frustrated I almost called everything off, but I didn't. I do have a call in to the rheumatologist, to make SURE he works with Raynaud's and neuropathies - no point in going to him if he doesn't. I realize I'll have to wait again, if he doesn't, but I do already have an appt on July 30, which I have NOT canceled. And I KNOW that dr would be the right one, as the cardiologist called him personally and told him what all I'm experiencing.
The ortho dr from today wants me to do physical therapy, and also wants me to try methyl-prednisone - I forgot to pick it up on the way home, so I'll head back to CVS on my bike sometime after dinner and get that. Maybe after I get the girls to bed.
I haven't scheduled the physical therapy yet - not sure when to start that - just feeling helpless & hopeless right now. I know I'm not, but that is my feelings for the moment.
