Last night when I was massaging Genevieve’s feet (with the epsom salt lotion) I could tell the inflammation was so much better. It was the first time her foot felt really normal in comparison to her other foot. It has less muscle and feels slightly smaller, but finally it was feeling normal. I’m not sure what it was like this morning before scrambler therapy, but she did wake up with slightly swollen face. That happens sometimes and we haven’t been able to figure out why.
Scrambler therapy today was fairly normal. She mentioned again that the effect wasn’t the same as Friday. She also experienced some more heel pain. The doctor thinks it could be a bit of tendinitis from not using the foot much since surgery. He wanted her to take it easy today (no PT). The problem is that tendinitis needs rest and to not push through the pain. With CRPS the foot needs use. She came back to the house and did an epsom salt soak and has been elevating it. We noticed her foot is showing inflammation again and is going up her ankle. You can actually feel a line where the inflammation starts and stops. G marked it with a sharpie so we can see if it spreads any higher. We’re confused. We don’t know what is going on with her body.
