Had an oak bench fall onto my left foot 1 1/2 years ago.A podiatrist removed bone fragments with surgery,then therapy. Toe started losing circulation and foot still hurting. 3 months later had 1/2 of toe removed,more therapy.No difference and toe now turning blue.2 months after that complete amputaion of toe.Return to Dr. 3 months later for cortisone injection to relive pain in ball of foot and top of foot near scar pain. Does not work. End up having alcohol injections. 7 of them at 2 week intervals. Hurts worse than before. Take an x ray told foot is fractured and given walking cast. Go to another podiatrist who takes more x rays and an MRI. Results come back clear,more cortisone in same spot with a diagnosis of a hammer toe in the 2nd toe. Told to wear orthodics and buy good sneakers and shoes . Get both,pain increases. Go see an Orthopedic podiatrist who diagnoses me with reflex distrophy. He sends me to a Physical Medicine guy how says that's not what I have. Prescribes me Pain patches of Licoderm . Patches help minutely. Will I ever be pain free? Please help me.
