OK, that wasn’t the end of the world. My blister on my toe, which was my most immediate worry, is no big deal. He scraped away some of the dead skin and said it was pretty much healed. He didn’t like neuropathy or circulation so he ordered a lower arterial scan. I think I did one before but it’s been a few years. He also gave me a referral to a orthotics place. I went there before and they charged my insurance $300 for a pair of New Balance shoes that I can buy on Amazon for $60. They did give me a bunch of inserts that were pretty good. Finally, I managed to pick up another prescription for Lamisil for a foot fungal infection. I got some Terbinafine cream before but didn’t use it because it supposedly reacts with beta-blockers like Metoprolol.
I also asked him about acupuncture. That does not appear to be a problem as long as I find a legit acupuncturist that uses clean needles.
