So after that first appointment with Dr. K I decided to try physical therapy and see if that would help. I got set up with a great physical therapist, Nikki, who was determined to help me avoid surgery. I went to my first physical therapy appointment and then went to Savannah for a few days with a big group of girl friends. I walked around Savannah a lot in my boot, but it was fine. I made sure to ice it each night and did fine with it. Sure, it hurt, but it wasn't anything I couldn't handle.
I came back and kept going to physical therapy twice a week. It really seemed to help. I went to physical therapy for probably about 6 weeks. With that, spending 2 weeks on crutches and some anti-inflammatories that I got when I went for a second opinion my foot really started to feel better. It was better enough that I got out of the boot and Nikki released me from physical therapy.
I knew I had to be nice to my foot, but I thought I was done with the big issues with my foot, at least I hoped I was.
