Not So Bad

I went to a different podiatrist today and she decided cortizone shots were not the best option for my feet. She is testing this other stuff on my left foot for now. It is an alcohol based medicine that de-sensitizes the nerve. As she injects it, it numbs the foot for 3-4 hours but then it takes 4-5 days to kick in. Having the top of my foot numb was just weird, but the shot didn't hurt at all...much less painful than I expected, and there is no soreness because it was on the top of my foot by my toes so I can run! We're trying it out on my left foot for now because that is the one I've been having the most problems with and if my right foot starts acting up, providing it works, we'll inject some in my right foot too.
