Wanted to pass on some good news for a change! I'm doing much better and have walked 7 miles this week! That's the most since last summer! A couple of things have seemed to help me. Started using the Exogen which you recommended about 2 months ago. I had some AVN per the orthopedic doctor and I believe that has helped. Riding a regular and stationary bike has also helped. Also have used a spikey ball 2 times a day and that seems to help the blood flow to the area. Another thing that I believe has really helped me is a foam wedge used for stretching. The bike, spikey ball and the stetching give immediate relief to me that seems to last a few hours. The biggest help has been my PT who has guided me through this! She made a doctors appointment at the orthopedic and even went with me to go see him! It's been a long journey and still have a long way to go but starting to see the light! Thanks so much for your help and encouragement!

ReplyDeleteDr Blake,
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure whether you would have any experience on this, however, i wanted to know what your thoughts would be on being diagnosed with a medial sesamoid fracture while prescribed Isotretinoin (Accutane).
I am finishing my final month of Accutane (6 months total) and found out i have this fracture about a month ago (i believe i have had it ~2 mo).
I'm in a Cam Walker currently and am wondering if this medication will impede the healing process.
I from time to time still feel this electric shock sensation, but other than that, the only real pain i feel is throbbing of the big toe.
Hope to hear from you!
