I Had that veinous sonogram with sound done on my leg a couple weeks ago.. My blood flow is fine..

So my vascular doc sugegsted that I go see a foot orthopedic specialist to see if they can tell me why my foot and low part of right leg is always numb, swollen, and hurts. It affects my ability to walk obviously.

So I see him on Wednesday very early morning next week. Same Foot orth that saved my wife from having to have a major foot surgery a few years ago from an accident at my daughters house...
He is among the best in Ohio and nationally .

I hope all goes well with your testing.. Its time to be given a clean bill of health..

Things are going pretty well with me. I have some swelling in my arms that nobody's been able to diagnose. The doc is putting me in for vascular imaging to see if I've got something called "venous insufficiency" but it's just something he wants to rule out.

I was given my 10-year tetanus shot - which is a VACCINE against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis. I told the doctor I'm not anti vaccine; I'm just anti mRNA. He suggested I consider the J&J shot and I was able to educate him, explaining that it too is mRNA - by way of the benign virus J&J engineered to deliver mRNA. He then said he needed to read up on it.

He's a good, conscientious doctor, but he's obviously been doing patients a disservice by telling the ones concerned about mRNA that J&J is better than the others - when it could well be worse. What a shame. I hope none of them have been hurt.

Did you guys know that routine colonoscopies are on the way out? I've never had one, and I suggested that maybe it's time. He talked me OUT of it, believe it or not. He said that the screenings done with a mail-in stool sample are pretty much replacing them. Sure, colonoscopies are still given if the other test comes back positive, but apparently the test is reliable and, obviously, less invasive. He said it works so well that the medical world is lowering the age for colon cancer screening to age 45 instead of 50, with the mail-in tests being done every 3 years. Given how easy it is to do, I'm surprised they don't lower it even more, to age 40.
