Another Doctor

Since physical therapy on Tuesday, we've been stimulating Jason's foot with different clothes and objects (never know what you might use a silicone pastry brush!). Then later in the day his foot just throbbed. We were afraid we had over-stimulated it, but the doctor assured us that movement and touching it are very important to do for it's recovery.

The pain is definitely back to a 10 and now we can't find anything to relieve it. We're using Capzasin cream to try and minimize the pain and even tried warm wraps (which before Jason couldn't tolerate at all). We had had success in dunking Jason's foot in a bowl of ice water and give it a good shock. Absolutely nothing is helping. Tuesday night, Wednesday all day and last night were again miserable.

Today we are going to see a neuro-surgeon.

Please pray for healing and especially for Jason's emotional and mental health. Please pray that the doctors will come up with a plan that works to make his pain tolerable.
