I saw an Indiana University orthopedic surgeon last Tuesday. His best guess is plantar fasciitis - which was the first diagnosis I had back in March. He gave me cortisone shots in both feet, mostly as a diagnostic tool. The numbing stuff was GREAT - I could walk easily for the first 2 hrs, with no pain.
Alas, that has not continued. He said it could take several days for them to help, and I am still waiting. I've heard someone else say it could take 2 full weeks. All I can do is wait.
I did get confirmation today that Mayo will NOT offer me an appointment.
I have an appt with Cleveland Clinic (another orthopedic surgeon, this will be the 3rd) on Nov 27. I am not positive that I will keep the appt - partially waiting to see if the shots end up helping.
I am frustrated overall, and knowing I could come home with yet another "I don't know", after inconveniencing several people and lots of money - that is hard for me. But I haven't ruled it out yet, and will not cancel for at least another 2 weeks, waiting on these shots and my own peace of mind/heart/soul.
Prayers would be appreciated. I have been asking for direction, and one door has closed, so that IS some direction.
