| Hey Kelly, remember our July,
2006 Quiz, "Foot Pain Can't
Stand Up to Gout"?
Do I remember?! I remember how humiliated I was! Sure, Caralyn's
father's gout was interesting, but he had an itchy toe; how does
that compare to excruciating foot pain?!
I know, Kelly, but Caralyn's reportage was
engaging and bouncy.
Bouncy???!!!
Effervescent.
I got bumped for not being effervescent?
Let me put it this way, Kelly: Yes. But take
heart, because, you know what? It's time for your foot to make a
comeback!
You mean...
Yes, Kelly, your time has come! Drum roll
please! And now, from the Hpathy Ampitheater in beautiful downtown...where
are we?...I give you, the incomparable, the irrepressable, Kelly
Youuunnnngggggg!!!!!!
I hardly know what to say! What does irrepressable mean?
Your case, Kelly, just give your case!
Right. Good. I'll start there. Ahem! Um....Let's see, this was
rather long ago...I don't really remember when my left foot started
to hurt but it was sometime in the afternoon--a long time ago. I
remember thinking, "Hey, my foot feels funny!" Then funny
turned to discomfort and it kept escalating from there. I kinda
felt like someone stomped on my foot but only in one small spot-
if that makes any sense!
The top of my foot became gradually more painful as it went into
evening. By the time I was emailing with you (11pm) I couldn't put
any pressure on it and definitely could not walk!
Amazing! What happened to you?
I don't know! It felt like the long, thin bones on the top of my
foot were broken, beat up or sprained--so bizarre! I don't even
remember hurting it!
Anyway, the pain was pretty intense but I noticed that the backache
I had earlier from gardening and lifting heavy patio stones was
gone.
I decided to take ________ . I took a 1M dose and went to bed.
I woke up later and the pain was really bad! I guess I should have
taken a 200C, the 1M apparently caused an aggravation, which surprised
me because the pain was so intense, I thought it was a good match,
but I guess it goes to show how strong a 1M really is. I tossed
and turned and finally fell back to sleep at 2:30. In the morning,
the pain was minimal and before the day ended--gone!
If you know which remedy Kelly took, please
email me at LEWRA@aol.com.
Kelly, I hope you will accept my apology
for saying your foot pain couldn't stand up to gout. And apropos
the happy ending, here is James Brown, the Godfather of Soul, singing,
"Get On The Good Foot"!
