Teenage surgery without parent's consent

Thanks. It's not as bad as it was, I've really gotten used to it. It used to be constant aching pain, but now it's more of a stiff, arthritis feeling. You should hear how much I can crack my bones when I first move my feet around in the morning! My exes always hated it, it grossed them out.   The problem now is less the pain in the foot, but the effects that it has had on my other joints and lower back. To minimize the pain, I walk sort of weirdly...like a duck lol. It's not obvious at first, but if I pointed it out you'd notice. And now that's catching up with me.

Is it RA? (if you don't mind me asking, I have a friend with RA)

I'm not sure if it would officially be called that. I don't know anything about rheumatoid arthritis, but I think what I'm feeling is entirely related to the connection of the tarsal bones and not anything autoimmune...although I do have a weak immune system because of my kidneys...oh shit, I should stop there. I have too many health problems   I haven't seen a doc about my feet in a long while. I think I'm due for an appointment soon to see what I should be doing about that.

Now y'all know why I smoke so much
