Bob, Grace, Tex, Charlie, Cathy, etc.... thx for the input...meds are a scary thing... question for Bob...what are biomechanical orthotics .... the foot doctor is making orthotics for me as well...regular ones, I guess....he also wants to do surgery on my right foot to "cut out the arthritis" and I feel like I'm being led down a path of no return or something....the folks on this LIST seem to know more than doctors do...I intend to tell the MD, foot specialist and neuro what I've learned from people on the LIST and see what happens. They will probably still say the same thing....will let you all know next month.... and thx to you folks I have found out why I get so sleepy sometimes...........Joan H. ----- Original Message ----- From: Bob Chapman <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Wednesday, September 01, 1999 1:04 PM Subject: Re: Swollen Anlkes > Joan, I am going through a similar circumstance right now.
