sorry I have nothing to add but wanted to bump it up and say hi welcome to our group I don't think we met before....

what is cause of foot pain?

A few years back I was told I may require one someday and I checked a few out. The competitive ones are very stable, light but very pricey. I'm also assuming you need your leg elevated and a hand cycle may not allow you to do that. I would just go to a store that deals in that and try them all out, that's what I did. The people are very helpful. You may as try posting this in the amputee group. Hope this helps, Blaine

orangejuice, do you have RSD in your foot?

Hi There :-) Meet to meet you all!

There is no know medical cause for my chronic pain. I can walk about 1-2 city blocks and then it feels like my foot is broken. I've ended up crawling to my car a few times.

I doesn't like being in a shoe, too much pressure, doesn't like walking or swimming. If I sit down and rest, it takes 2-4 hours to build up some endurance again.

I can get around in my house and into work, anything like a target, hotel, shopping mall I'm in a manual wheelchair.

I don't take any pain meds at the moment because I'm pregnant. yay :-) I've been to countless doctors/clinics and have ruled out anything they can think of.

Just a thought could their be a shard of glass that worked its way inside your foot, glass i don't think will show up on a xray. My wife is always getting cat hairs stuck in her foot and doesn't notice until it becomes painful to walk, like I said just a thought, Blaine

I would go to a surgical appliance store like Blaine suggested and try out light weighted ones that you can lift yourself in and out of your car.

Then if you have insurance ask your dr to write you a prescription for it.

I know you have to have a clear dx to get any insurance company to pay for a scooter.

I was wondering if it was rsd too, possibly diabetes or tendinitis.

Best wishes

My son plays wheelchair sports and if you google adaptive sports in your area and call them they will either let you " borrow " either a hand cycle or chair to try out. Anyway in all three of the states we have lived in did this for us. Learning how to use your arms, shoulders so not to blow them out in a manual chair for any time of use can be provided by an occupational therapist.

What kind of testing have they done on your foot?

Good Luck,
Joanne
