It's A Neuroma!

I went to the podiatrist today to get the results of my MRI and found that a neuroma is causing the pain in my right foot. What is a neuroma, you ask? Hell if I know. It has something to do with nerves. If it doesn't respond to a series of three cortisone injections, it ain't gonna. What then, you ask? Apparently they get the nerve really drunk and KILL it. Yes, they can kill a nerve with alcohol. Don't you need that nerve, you ask? Apparently not. If I have to kill that nerve to wear heels and jog again--buh bye.

And wearing the $450 boot for a month? All for naught. So glad I tried to save that MRI money by going with the less expensive boot first.
