i don't know why... mayb the sneakers i wore are not suitable to walk too much... or my bad sleeping posture... when i woke up after napping at the car, i feel pain after i got off... mayb i slept too deep and hurt my toes when i fallen asleep...
on that day, i didn't feel that serious.... but the next day, when i walked to Toowong for having a coffee, i started feel pain... i spent a few hours at shopping center till it's time to work..... that's the first day i worked for evening shift at LS... it's public holiday for Queen's bday.... double pay!! so despite the pain, it's great to work on that day...
off duty at 8:15pm... the foot was still pain.... i limped to the train station... b4 i arrived, i'd already found that only got some express trains which won't stop at Toowong or Taringa on the screen... but i still walked to the station and asked the staff... he told me i may take the 444 bus at King George Square station... i limped to the there... that's the first time for me to take bus at that station... it's an underground station... i almost got the wrong way... when i saw the bus going to cultural center........ i wondered if that's the opposite way.... no one at the bus stop... i believe should be wrong.... i limped upstairs and asked a gal.... she told me i should go the Moggill way... i even never heard of Moggill.... anyway, i got the right bus...
i called May to pick me up after i got off the bus.... they told me not to walk home myself at late night time... my right foot was killing me anyway...
--------------------------------------
i'd already did some massage with the chinese medicine, but seems it's still no reaction...
i can't take sick leave.... u know, "Hand stop, Mouth stop".......... no work, no pay, then no $ to pay for the rent and food.... so i still cope with it while working, still walked around to serve, to clean up.... juz pretend nothing happened on me... no one awared that...
before work, i suddenly remembered i should take a panadol... i forgot to take it b4 left home, i bring this along in my luggage... but since i forgot to bring, i bought it at pharmacy today.... i found that it's even cheaper than HK.... took it b4 work, but seems it's doesn't works on me... sigh....
---------------------------------------
i wanted to give Dad a call for his advice, but he didn't answer my call. then i called Mum, got her advices.... and also some advices from other frds....
today when i made drinks for myself after i off duty, i remembered not to drink lemon tea.... it's sour.... and also the pearl.... it made from sticky rice... and remembered not to eat spicy or sour food.... so i juz ate BBQ pork, crispy pork belly and chicken.... that's good for my skin too... too many pimples recently...
hope i can recover soon..... i couldn't call Dad.... but still can call my dear heavenly Father.... pls cure me, God!!
Hello Im hidy, a friend of your sis, Subie
ReplyDeleteIm studying medicine now..though not yet complete my course..but I hope i can help you a bit
If I got it correctly..your right big toe was feeling pain around the joint WITHOUT any cuts after a walk on an unfit slippers..
(cont'd)
ReplyDeletefrom wt you've written, the tendon you've highlighted in red should be undergoing inflammation..i.e. when comparing when the normal(left) side, it's more swells, reddish, warm and pain.
If you dont have a family hist(according to Subie), from your age, it shd NOT be gout(google it if u hv no idea..^^")
one important differential diagnosis is infective arthritis which i cant rule out through the web..but i think if tht is the case..it should deteriorate within few days..(i.e. should NOT be your case either)
so..for your case, i think (think as a medical student only=P) it should be some inflam after misuse
so the drug that you should be getting should be some "NSAID"= non-steriodal anti-inflammatory drug..it can relieve the pain n inflammation..but one problem of the drug is it increases your acid secretion in stomach, so you better take the drug after meal and take a tablet of antacid..

For NSAID, you can pick "Naproxen" ( it's a very common drug n it's not expensive)
ReplyDeleteand any antacid should be fine..just pick the one you took when you had stomache
condition should improve after 3-4 days of drug. if it deteriorate..go to doctor and tell him the whole story and wt drug you've taken (includ, chinese n western drug)
Meanwhile, you should rest your leg more or at least walk less..wear a more comfortable shoes..at night after a day of work..it's USEFUL to apply an ice-pack on your swollen tendon..(though the drug is the key*)
if you want to know more about what;s going on with your toe, google "arthritis", "inflammation", "NSAID" etc..i believe the web can answers many questions..
HOPE YOU GET WELL SOON =)
