My foot is so sore today

7 days of having this cold now. Nothing more than a constant runny nose. For that I am grateful but the severity of how much is running is so annoying. I did have a few days where my energy was so low I couldn’t get much housework done but thankfully it passed. The past two or three days I’ve had the most unusual symptom. My left food is in so much pain I can barely put any weight on it. The very left side of my foot by the arch. It’s swollen as well. I have done absolutely nothing to hurt myself so I really have no idea what it could be besides something to do with this cold or virus whatever it is. Stranger things happen. I have a lot of running around I have to do tomorrow so I may try to sit today and put my foot up. My little one and I read books this morning and will read more soon but this morning I had so much phlegm that I had little voice to read and had to keep clearing my throat which didn’t really help much. My little one is sneezing and I think may have a little runny nose so I think she has caught it now. The little craft in the photo my little one and I made to give out to her aunts and grandparents for Valentine’s Day.

Those are cute. I'm sorry about your cold and your foot. Soak the foot in epsom salts if you have any? Its just past a year since my hubby and I had Covid. He also had pneumonia so we are a bit paranoid now about winter.

@sallypup I don’t have any but have heard epsom salt is wonderful for a lot of things. I sure hope you don’t get Covid again this winter. I had it in the fall and the year prior to that.

@shaggin You've had Covid twice? I'm sorry. Covid really smacked me; took away my sense of time and made me so weak. Then it helped hubby to get pneumonia.

@sallypup I think I recall your posts about you and your husband getting knocked down for the count when you had Covid. I was much sicker the first time I had it.

Those valentine crafts are so cute. I've had a runny nose but no cold. I think mine is from allergies. Your foot is rebelling from something.

@celticeagle allergies can be very annoying but mine is definitely a cold. I’d rather the allergies. With my foot you seem to be right but what it’s rebelling from I have no idea.

@celticeagle it’s better today thankfully. A bit sore to the touch and when I wore my boots but otherwise good today.

@kareng the little craft will go along with some Valentine’s Day candy. My daughter’s nose is so runny I know how she feels mine was constant.

@snowy22315 yeah for now I’m just waiting for it to go away. It’s better than it was last night but then I had been on my feet all day. I have to be out today so it’ll likely swell more by nighttime again.

@snowy22315 it is it’s baffling why it’s swollen and hurts so bad. I didn’t do a single thing to cause it. DaddyEvils theory of gout is possible.

@shaggin That wouldn't be high on my list of possibilities. If it happens again or doesn't go away, you should get it checked out though

Those are pretty things you and your little girl prepred. Hope you will check on your foot by consulting a doctor. I am going through weakness in my limbs after physiotherapy. Will consult a doctor if it does not subside with time.

@allknowing hopefully in the long rum the physiotherapy helps you get stronger instead! My foot feels better today but still hurts.

@rakski my foot is almost fully better today so I’m glad I didn’t go to the doctor and waited it out. My cold is getting better too thankfully but still have a bit of a runny painful nose.

@popciclecold I’m still sick it’s been over a week so I assume this will linger awhile for my little one as well. Her nose isn’t nearly as runny today as mine has been which I am thankful for!

The little crafts are beautifully made. I had an accident two days ago. I was going back home after dropping my kids off at school on a two-wheeler, as it was drizzling and the road was wet, so when I applied the brakes, it slipped and fell. I injured my knee badly. It's been painful since that day. I have to eat a painkiller while going to work in the morning.

@sjvg1976 that sounds so painful. I hope it feels better soon that must have been very scary.

@Tampa_girl7 my sinuses still hurt and my nose is still runny but it’s not nearly as runny as it was before. My foot is almost completely better as well.

Those crafts are so cute. When my nose runs so badly, I use toilet paper instead of tissues to blow my nose. I figure it is cheaper but it may not be.

@Judyev We use handkerchiefs here. I just bought another set of 50 yesterday on Amazon. I went through all the one I had in a single day with this cold so I needed some more. Been quite some time since I had to buy new ones. They last a very long time.

@JudyEv I don’t iron anything I hate it but it would make them take up a lot less room in the buffet drawers

@shaggin We use handkerchiefs too but if my nose is really streaming then I'll resort to tissues or toilet paper. I iron our hankies too.

It could be uric problem. If it is, then try to blend celery. My friend has this problem and to avoid taking the medicine, he prepares blended celery. I don't know how it tastes though.

@Neil43 DaddyEvil mentioned the same thing. Thankfully whatever it was went away quickly. I was worried it would last for weeks if it was gout. That’s really awesome your friend is able to ward off gout that way. My husband takes tart Cherry pills.
