Well, I'm all done with PT. But my foot is not completely better. I am a bit puzzled by the whole PT experience. If I ever need PT again, I'll ask for a referral to a different clinic. My PT's final hypothesis about what happened with my foot is that I have some disorder, like Reynaud's, that causes my nerves to react to ice. He now says he doesn't think it was the Ionto. I disagree. I think is was too much Ionto at too high of a level, and I think it messed up the nerves in my foot. Based on Liza's comments about the Dexamethasone, I think I may have been reacting to that as well. I was really grumpy but that could've also been because I was annoyed that my foot was hurting, plus the holidays kind of make me grumpy. So who knows about that. But my face broke out really bad during the couple of weeks I was getting Ionto, and I could've sworn that I just looked puffy in general. Now my skin is back to it's normal level of breaking out and I don't think I look puffy anymore.
I still haven't been back to the Dr. because it is getting progressively better. There is just minor pain that comes and goes, and the swelling is pretty minimal at this point. I'm going to give it one more week and see what happens. I'm planning to go skiing on Wednesday, so that should be a good test. Oh, and I bought Superfeet insoles yesterday, so I'll be trying those out as well.
Knotted, thanks again for your insight on the whole PT thing. I almost hope I need PT again sometime so I can go to someone else and see the difference!
