So, after my last post my foot got worse and worse, to the point where I hobbled off to the doctor. The doctor promptly sent me off to have an x-ray and ultrasound, but this being the Friday before a long weekend, I couldn't get an appointment until the following Wednesday. Cue a lot of sitting around with my foot on a cushion.

Wednesday came and I limped off to the radiologist. I spent about an hour there all up, between both scans and various waitings around. But at the end of it, they found no obvious problems with my foot. That was good news in some respects - it's not broken, and there is no major soft tissue injury. But it didn't shed a lot of light on why my foot hurt. It could be a soft tissue injury too minor to show up on a scan, but I am pretty talented at inflammation, so that seems fairly unlikely. Another option is inflammation of a nerve (which doesn't require much inflammation before you start to notice it). Regardless, treatment is the same - basically more sitting around with my foot on a cushion. The good news is that it does seem to be settling down in the last few days.
