I saw my PCP today and he asked why I still had the boot on 3.5 months after I broke my foot. I told him the bone had pretty much healed but I have a peroneal tear and damaged muscles, tendons, etc. Every time I go to the pod doc, he asks how it feels, I'll tell him it's still painful, he tells me 2 more weeks in the boot and charges me my $35 copay. Well, M.D.'s don't think much of foot doctors and he told me to see an ortho doc. I got an appt. for Monday. Please, I don't want surgery but it still hurts so bad and I'm tired of walking around gimpy. Plus, the boot causes a leg length discrepancy and is causing me back issues. Sigh.
