He gave up on the idea of physical therapy.
He doesn't have any new theories yet.
He is very confident of his ability to remove that new neuroma and excess scar tissue but is not at all confident that those are my problem.
He says that surgically realigning the metatarsals to make a good transverse arch is "playing with fire" and probably wouldn't address my problem anyway.
He gave me my copies of my 2005 MRIs back.
He got all my records from his office copied for me to have, because...

He's referring me to the Stanford Pain Clinic. I guess I'll see the inside of this fabled place after all. (It was recommended to me for my abdominal pain, too, though I never wound up going.)

I don't know whether to be happy or grumpy. This does get people from multiple disciplines involved, but a pain clinic is usually the end of the line and can often involve only ways to cope. I am hoping that if it's that bad, one of the "ways to cope" involves nerve blocks. :-)
