does anyone want some more pain?

i meet with the surgeon this fri a.m. to get some more questions answered and then can hopefully make a decision about the fractured vertebrae..... still am on a lot of pain meds but if i don' take them during the day , i can drive short distances to the dr etc........
here is some more news about what the aftermath of prednisone can be for some.......
on sat i awoke with horrific pain in my foot for which i had to wait till mon to see the dr
she did a lab panel thinking it was gout
lab did not diagnose gout...so on to xrays which found heel spurs and a flare up of polymyalgia (remember that ??? it hasn't gone anywhere...)and arthritis
the pain is just awful and i don't need this on top of the vertebrae and other pain......
ice,rest, more pain pills and trying to find relief in a shoe insert.....
i went looking today and found some shoes that have a lot of cushion and are recommended for my "condition" so i bought the on a 30 day money back guarantee
i haven't had a painfree day in months and months and it is taking its toll with fatigue and being really disheartened.......

Sorry to hear about the new problem. I hope the new shoes help but I wish it were new dancing shoes you were buying! I love you, Geri
