Oh that foot!

One of Trevor's first complaints was his right foot. He had an MRI of it in 2013 that sparked a full spectrum of tests, thoughts of misdiagnosis, etc. It always hurts him! Different levels of pain, different locations but it always hurts! Well here we are again. After his basketball for a couple days it was unbearable. The doctor looked at it and thankfully said "let's think outside of the box." So an xray later he has to see an orthopedic doctor. Another MRI is scheduled but it appears there is an accessory bone. ? There is no mention of this on his first MRI.  When asked by the way, I was told the first MRI looked at his joints. Really? Scary, because one of the diagnosis they were looking at was osteomyelitis. (Infection in the bone). Now granted we have not seen the orthopedic doctor yet but we did see one in 2013 and he reviewed the MRI with us. Now there are other possibilities of bone growth but I'm not going to speculate until after we see the doctors. It is always something! Trevor is also scheduled to have an endoscopy\colonoscopy in April.  I just feel so bad for Trevor. He finally had some HOPE and now he's told don't play hard on that foot, no weight lifting, nothing until we know what is going on.
On a happy note, we got a hot tub that Trevor loves. When he's in it he has no pain! Unfortunately, he does have to get out and face life but for now it is a peaceful retreat for him to escape his JA and pain!
