I think I could drive with my left foot ifn I had to. Hope all goes well with the surgery.
You can’t drive left footed?
There’s no use being stupid if you’re not willing to show it off.
I probably can but it’s not worth the hassle for my job , but now to get to the lake that’s another story lmao
Had a surgery for a bone spur back at the end of January on by big toe. Toe is still really swollen but it doesn't hurt anymore. Ready for the swelling to go down anytime. Good luck on your surgery I could not walk on it for 2 weeks after surgery that was not much fun.

Hoping you get it took care of soon so that you don't have to deal with that pain any longer.
Hope you heal up really fast as there will be lots of broken down vehicles for a bit it seems.

There's lots of decaffeinated brands that are just as tasty as the real thing.
Hi Mike.
My mom is a retired nurse who worked for several orthopedic surgeons before she retired and I had her check out my calf/ankle that has been bothering me for a few months. It seems to have gotten worse when its cold, it just gets stiff and my range of motion isn't as good and it feels like tendonitis at times. It never exceeded a 2 or 3 on the pain scale, but I brought it up anyway.
She warned me that I need to stretch the hell out of it as it can and will turn into bone spurs like you said. That tendon needs to be flexible and if it isn't, the first place it tries to get flexibility is the connection to the bone and it develops bone spurs.
When it starts getting inflamed, I stretch and try to rehydrate as they kind of go hand and hand. Additionally, I have a topical cream from dr solomons that I apply to areas like my calf/Achilles and my upper back/shoulder/rotator cuff (I have had a partial rotator cuff tear too) to help reduce inflammation and the stuff really works better than anything I have tried.
Get yourself a wedge to stand on to stretch your Achilles.

Hi Mike.
Going for my MRI tonight at 10:00 that was quick hope it’s not S bad as he thinks
Good luck. I have a bone spur (small) and tendinitis. I have flat feet. I’ll be getting an orthopedic shoe soon. I also take Meloxicam for pain. It seems to keep it under control.
