That’s a good approach. It’s better to try and guess than to get xray confirmation 😂

You know how it is dog…
Especially with things that could be soft tissue injuries..they just take an eon to heal. So I kept saying “it’ll get better” but it’s just not.
You’re right though. I am the lord of procrastinating and running from answers I don’t want
I get that I’ve avoided the doctor for a lot of things. Don’t trust them a lot of the time and it doesn’t always help. But with this, the solution be a simpler fix than you imagine. Just need some kind of MRI or other image to know what the issue is
⬆️ what he said. A diagnosis might be helpful for your self prescribed treatment plan.
You’re definitely right. I need to get health insurance first 😅🥲

I suffered for years with a fucked-up toe and eventually had surgery for it. I waited (maybe longer than I should have) because didn’t like what the first two doctors told me they would do, and I needed to some interviewing and research because I only had one shot at this.
Man do I feel that one. I am the king of that. Tore my meniscus medially/laterally in 2012, had surgery in 2018. You’d think I would have learned my lesson.
I was flying all over the country in the summer of 2023 to do video interviews of clients of a company that eventually laid me off, and none of the work I did ever saw the light of day. It was a frustrating experience, but something good came from it. One of the clients was a podiatrist in Colorado who I credit with convincing me to have the surgery, and he introduced me to a surgeon back home who did an amazing job, and left no visible scars. I had to move fast because my health insurance would cover the entire thing, but it was about to expire, so I just pulled the trigger. Five weeks later, I threw away the boot, got on a plane to Nashville, and went to Nostrville at Bitcoin Park. After that, I decided my next job would be in bitcoin, and it happened two months later.

Ahhhh this reminds me of the old samurai “we’ll see” story. Life has a funny way of working out when your heart is in the right place. That’s a great story. I’m glad it all worked out for you. Bad toes = bad knees = bad hips = bad posture = bad shoulders etc etc etc. it all starts from the ground up.
