So yesterday I met with my rheumatologist and we discussed the possible surgery to correct the bone protruding from the bottom of the foot and he had a great suggestion. He thought it would be a good idea if I kept a log on what I was doing when my foot hurts. In that way when I do go to see a specialist I can say these are the things these are the activities that I’m doing when my foot hurts the most. With this list discussing the surgery we can be better informed on the future functionality of the foot for what it is I do. As you can imagine I was relieved that there is no impending surgery in store for me this summer. One thing I haven’t mentioned with foot surgery is the recovery time can be extremely long.
At the end of the exam I asked my rheumatologist if there was any change in the disease, and to my pleasant surprise he said no. It would appear that at least for the time being my RA use at bay. For this I am grateful, as I’m physically able to do just about anything I want as long as I do it in moderation.
