Stupidity Continued

Due to my complete stupidity,  I am now rather seriously injured.  None of this is life threatening, but the amount of pain I am in is crazy.  I am on vicoden at night and Motrin during the day.  It all helps, but none of it takes pain away.  A walk to the store that I normally love, causes great pain with every bump on the street or sidewalk.  I now have to use a transfer board like this one to get in and out of bed.   

Thanks to Epilepsy's help, I did make it to the doctor earlier than I thought I would.  I found out things haven't changed too much since the last time I had a limb x-rayed.  It's still hard to x-ray someones feet when they have an orthopedic disability.  Doctor's here really don't understand CP.  And no matter how much explaining and advocating I do, I don't count as much as the x ray films and the paperwork.  They did not see any broken bones in the films.  But my body is acting like there is one.  It's on the bottom of my left heel. My foot stays in pain and often spasms on its own just to remind me how much pain I can really be in.  I am not sure if there is a broken or chipped bone there.  It could just be bruised.  A tendon could be affected.  All I know is I am in pain.  I hate a transfer board and I want it to stop so I can get back to my normal crazy life.
