GREAT WEB INTERACTION!! At last I know I am not alone in my suffering!!
I had two on the sole of my left foot and three on the sole of my right. I picked them up from the gym showers (obviously exercise IS bad for me!!)..but they didn't bother me. Being a lady, thought it cosmetically best to have them attended to. In January 2003, the Podiatrist burned them off with liquid nitro. After I had scraped myself off the ceiling (where my pain threshold had pushed me), and hobbled home, I was amazed by how long the pain and inconvenience lingered and lingered. Why don't these medicos TELL YOU what to anticipate?! By March, I was still in agony... PLUS the left foot had turned into a blood blister, and the right foot had 'gone forth and multiplied' into many warts. The Good News was that I didn't have to go to Gym! I went instead to a Dermatologist, for a second opinion. He said you should NEVER burn the soles of the feet - only excise .. which he duly did under local anaesthetic. But he did this so casually, didn't even book me off work, that I thought it was a little minor procedure. HA! I am now four weeks down the line of this second Torture by Footloose Physicians.. having experienced continual pain, the horror of using crutches, and a grinding to a halt of Life as I Knew It. Again .. no forewarning nor preparation from the medic. At least if you knew what to expect, you could better cope with the results. I live on my own ... and having to battle and manage work and traveling and shopping etc, has been a nightmare. I am still not over it all; the left foot is not sore.. but the right foot is still very tender and painful.. I am turning socks (well one sock, anyway) into a Fashion Statement around the office. And walking on tiptoe is giving me the greatest calf (one only) muscle in the Universe.
So I say: Salute to us PW Survivors! We deserve $1 million for Surviving our ordeals!!
