Did they prescribe you with anything to help move? Like a scooter, crutches, or a wheelchair that'd make it easier for you to move around?

I got some prednisone, but it can stop weight loss and even cause weight gain. So, I stopped taking it, but the pain came back fully after about a day. So I was being silly and I hurt my healing process. So I am going to deal with this even more. The thing is, I can go months without episodes, then wake up unable to walk. I am both Magneto and Professor X. I am Professor Mag. The pain's in both feet, so crutches wouldn't help. I haven't asked for a scooter yet, though I use them at the store. Between you, me, and CE, those things are super fun to drive around in. They help me forget about feeling overwhelmed in stores. LOL.

Oh damn. That's awful. It doesn't quite sound like Planters Facitis to me but I'm not an expert or anything. Here's hoping that despite the pain being so bad, that it is something that can have a permanent cure for.

Thank you. Today's not as bad. This morning was rough, but now it's just occasional shots of pain. I have a lot of health issues, but I'm hopeful that this weight loss journey will help me start fixing them. Getting my blood pressure and heart issues under control will likely improve with maintaining a healthy weight. Then I can focus on addressing the foot pain. As for my fear of crowded spaces... well, that's just here to stay, I guess! LOL.
