Stayed home from work today because of a problem with my foot. My heel has been numb for the past 4 days. There's a very small amount of pain when I put weight on it. The numbness persists even without any weight on it. It's the same side as the patellofemoral pain I've had in the past, so I'm worried that it's related. Haven't had any pain in the knee lately, so I thought that was getting better. I went to the doctor who said that the numbness should go away in a few days on its own. I don't enjoy going to doctors, especially those that hold the attitude that they know my body better than I do, and that was the case with the one I had today. I believe that both doctor and patient bring different kinds of knowledge, but too often the doctor doesn't do enough listening. Saw Harry Potter 4 with Patrick. We liked it.
