update

The physical therapy ℞ came in the mail today (4 Oct)! David reminded me that the doctor months ago had said it wouldn't hurt, but it wouldn't help either, so we'll see...

I have been less active, so seldom experience great leg or foot pain. The most recent development in the last month is that when I stand after sitting for any length of time and also during the night, I experience extreme tightness in my calf muscles ("Charlie horses").

I almost forgot to mention 2 other progressions that I have noticed. 1 is a more noticeable stiffness of my knees. I often experience pain in them, & they give out frequently. The other is that stepping on the tiniest pebble (a mm or 2 in diameter) at the wrong spot on the bottom of my foot has made my leg totally & suddenly give out (1 Sep 08).
