I can see why pain can drive people to suicide. Managed about 2 hours before waking with a very sore foot. Hoping against hope that the painkillers will blunt the soreness. I’m not blind to the fact a lack of sleep is probably doing a number on my mental and physical health.
Thanks @Wave . I’d hoped the chiropody foot cushions my stepdaughter had suggested I get would work. It worked for about half a day.Soreness not gone, but definitely eased.

It’s not something weird like gout? Have a look online. Went through some serious pain before I figured that one out. Pills make it a non issue.
Gout has been suggested, but my toes don’t hurt.The soreness on my right sole although hard to handle is less worrying than the sleep issue it’s causing .

It’s not the toe. Do a search. For me it was down from toe and through the foot. It could be gout and it’s painful as heck. They say it’s big toe but it’s not…it’s back a bit into the foot…Check the online stuff…
Pain is awful. I hurt my knee. I hope you get better soon. Would soaking your foot in hot water with Epsom salt help? Just an idea

That helps a bit.
More on uric acid and sz.
My stepdaughter who has worked with many disabled and elderly people says it’s hard skin not gout . She doesn’t think stronger painkillers would be a good idea. They can make you very woozy, and my balance, which has never been good, has been even worse lately.
