On Pins and Needles


I hurt my foot a few years ago. Basically I fell down some steps and dislocated all the toes on my left foot. It was very painful and because an emergency room doctor told me it was just pulled ligaments it was not treated properly. After two weeks of pain, swelling and a foot that was black and blue I went to a specialist. He informed me it was a LizFranks Dislocation and put me in a boot for six weeks. He said that I would probably have pain for the rest of my life.
Vinson called an acupuncturist a few weeks ago and set up an appointment for me. The picture you see above is from my second visit. So far it is helping. The pain is not completely gone but it is much better. I am now able to sleep at night without having to take Tylenol or Ibuprofen to kill the pain. This is a definite improvement. We will see if it last and if it continues to improve.
