Well the medicine that I got from the orthopedic Dr. seems to be working, the pain in my foot has subsided quite a bit and the swelling has gone down as well, the effects of that medicine however are continuing to work on me pretty good though. The next time I have an ailment I might have to call Dr. Scott to see whats wrong with me. MICKEY
