Should be minor, but its been a PITF (Pain In The Foot) thus far. Last fall, I noticed a lump in my right upper calf, and when I pressed on it, I'd get a zinging pain in my foot - outboard side. I've been dealing with random, strange and wonderful pains in that foot for several years - and I had thought it had to do with a dance accident back in Y2K, and maybe some of it does.
Anyway, I've been trying to get this stupid thing taken care of since January, and here it is mid-June. Referrals from one doc to the next. Long story short, it was discovered that it is either a (benign) tumor that is wrapped up with a nerve - or its the nerve itself that was damaged somehow and is now AFU. I don't recall a hurting myself in my upper right calf, but whatever. *shrug*
Tomorrow (6/14), I go in for yet another attempt to do something about it. Hopefully its a success this time - the last time it was thought to be some kind of vascular thing, when the doc stuck a needle in it, I just about flew off the table - it felt like somebody had taken a blow torch to my foot! As a corrective action, that procedure was a dismal failure. However, as a diagnostic aid, it was a resounding success!
Tomorrow's procedure will be done under general anesthesia, thank Goddess.
Prayers, rituals, best wishes, and juggling flaming chipmunks would all be appreciated!
