I have lost the connection to the internet so may not get my answer.I have been having the most horrible swelling on the souls of my feet.My last bone scan said I had the bone density of a teen or young adult.So that must not be it.I broke my left foot twice.It is a break on the botton and top along the line of where your toes meet your foot.And you can tell that your toes are broken when there are bruises that make rings around the toe joint.So I broke my left foot twice about 2or 3 years ago.And I broke my right foot this past summer.A month before I was required to do a treadmill with contrast.Well that was a 3 or 4 hour appointment.I was waiting my turn to do the tread in the outer waiting room with a pillow and blanket I went from that to deciding to try the tread mill on my own strength.And it surpriesed even me that I stayed on that thing 6 minutes with the recently broken foot.Pooey for those who judge us saying we have a low threshold of pain.Well all turned out good for my heart.But I have noticed when I over do in the walking area.I feel like my feet look like when they were broken.They are swollen and I see faint bruising.Could fibro possibly be resonsible for this?My second problem is that for about 2 years my stomach can go to flat to looking like I am 8 months pregnant.I am not exagerating.My daughter who is a nurse and I were discussing this about her mother in law who also had the same problem and it was obvious on her as she is only 4'11".As we spoke she said mother in the hour we have been talking I have watched your stomach swell to the size of a watermelon.So I reminded her that her mother in law did have the same problem only my daughter forgot what I did not.She had her gall bladder taken out and she no longer had a bloated stomach.I mean my stomach is so hard you can actually thump it.I have had a colonoscopy and enoscopy to rule out g.i. problems.They have sonogramed mri'd and xrayed it to death.I have regulare B.M's.I gained 25lbs.when trying Lyrica for 3 months so I discontinued that 13 months ago.But I just do not seem to be able to drop the weight.Id does not feel like a bigger stomach per weight gain.I do a lot of research for my psy.And I showed him my labs and said where my pain in my stomach is and he said you need your gall bladder out.I did have one lvfts come back funny but the next one was ok.I do consider all medications on the condition of not ruining my liver.And also if I take an aspirin or anything that has it in it.I start bleeding from bladder and rear end.Excrutiating pain too.I am in the 2 year process of these dang oral implants as being top priority for time sensitive as I had sinus surger this Sept.25th.Although the puss quit runnning out 3 weeks later it started up again.I saw Dr Fattahi at Shands Jax.He is setting me up with Dr.Schare who is the expert at this he said.So I feel comfortable at last that after 2 years of asking the oral surgeon who put these in to please give me something for the infection he did not see.He did not see it in the mri sinus.Or a pan.That is when I lost faith in him.So I palpitated around the implant came up with a significant amount of puss and put it as close to his face that I could.It has taken me since Feb.To seek out and find an ent who had some common sense.She said we must get the infection under control before we do any reconstructive surgery.I agree.But I have already done Erythromyacin 333,that gave me no relief.So we went to clindamyacin which ate up my stomach.So I saw my primary and I have gone through already 2 rounds of Levaquin.Just to hold me over until I get to my I.D.consult which is not unitl Jan 14th.This is the soonest they could work me in.Levaguin came with 6 pages of information..And death was constantly repeated as could happen if you take it,could happen if you stop.So I decided to go back to Clindamyacin after a big meal just one a day until Jan 14th.It may not work.I am afraid as I seem to have a productive cough which the primary said is not coming from my lungs they are clear.They believe as I do it is coming from my sinuses.Not brochitis which it sounds like as I cough.But my question is this.I have ruled out any g.i. problems.My pn mang doc is requesting a mri t-spine as he said that could cause the pain in my stomach on the right side.You stomach should hurt on the left side as that is where it is along with you intestines.So what do you think could be causing this stomach swelling.Do you agree with my psy.He has never been wrong before.I just have too many acute problems all at once.I am scared I need IV antibiotics which my nurse daughter could administer as a home health care nurse which is her vocation.But it is going to have to wait until i see the I.D.doctor to test for ostemyelitis which some people say I do have it and other doctors say I do not.I have even switched to milk with for people who cannot do dairy produts to see if that was it.It was in conclusive as I threw up in my sleep the first night I drank some.I know I am asking a lot of questions at the same time.But anything for any of these problems would be greatly appreciated.I have even taken with me the post on annebeckett and the one on rosegurl.I have been given conflicting opinions on how to diagnose osteo.I realize it is in the bone.I understand all the things that would lead to a diagnosis.I feel powerless as an 8 month pregnant woman who has just decided she cannot go through with the pain of childbirth.No matter what I do it is going to lead to more and more surgery for me.And I am on the committee for our 40th class reunion.I cannot let people see me with no teeth.As they hurt too much to put in and leave in longer than a couple of hours.I have tried anything and everything any doctor suggested to do.What is making my feet swell up so badly and what is making my stomach to swell and recede like the tide in the ocean?So doc's get out your trusty answer book as I seem to be that patient where when they dictate what could go wrong and you have to sign it.I am that patient who is the one out of a million that I always get the thing that rarely happens to others.Even if the doctor's rep is above reproach.He could be the king of his specialty it doesnt matter.Even anesthesia does not put me to sleep in the oral surgeons chair.I must be in the hospital and I know the only 2 times I have not come up out of anesthesia was when I had the colonoscopy(in Hospital) and when Dr.Florete does my neuro burn in a one day outpatient cenrer.(surgical and germ free clinic).I have a low immune system and the original oral surgeon who put these in just wants me to lay back in a chair and press so hard that it feels like the 3 herniated disc c-spine are going to crack.He also charges an extra #300 for anesthesia where as Dr.Florete only charges me $100.00 for the use of the surgical center the germ free enviroment and the anesthesia I do not wake up in the middle of procedure.As I said my connection to the internet is broken as of now.But I seem to be able to receive incoming mail.Please help me help me help me.JO
