gizaI got a diagnosis for my foot pain. It went like this:
Me: The outside of my left foot hurts.
Dr. K: Do you always sit like that?
Me: Like what?
Dr. K: Cross legged
Me: Sometimes
Dr. K: That is putting pressure on the nerve that runs along the outside of your leg and causing pain in the foot. Don't do that. Put the outside of your left leg under the knee on a heating pad 2-3 times a day and take some Naproxen.
If that's all it is, that'll be a big relief. Now I just have to force myself not to cross my legs anymore. :-P

Had this been an actual statement of gender war, the word "tampon" might have figured into the sentence in some fashion, but it totally wasn't, and I feel the need to state that for the benefit of random -- or, for that matter, purposeful -- readers of Giza's blog, especially those willing to tolerate a footnote roughly five times as long as the actual comment.

Nice to hear some good news. :) Now all we need to do is diffuse the impacted booger in your nose that's causing you dizzy spells and you're all clear. *chuckles* j/k

As far as I'm concerned, House is his evil twin.

Date: 2006-02-28 05:43 pm (UTC)I cross my legs too, but I tend to put my foot on my other leg, not my leg. So no nerve problems, thankfully.

And he is a *bit* like Dr. House, only smarter and a touch more caring.
