Semi you can get a shot in that foot and fix you right up. Lidocaine, decadron, and depo-medrol injection would fix you right up.

Yeah Greg, I saw that in my research. But I've been avoiding it because I seem to shoot myself in the foot too often these days. I decided to try the most conservative approach first and have been using Ibuprofen, stretching exercises, and heat/cold applications. It seems to be working. If it's not gone by next week I'll go with the steroids.

Get well friend. I was out this morning with the flinter and will probably be heading out again shortly. But with everything that has transpired this year, I just don't have the 'drive' I normally have. Being out there this morning I was thinking to myself that "I don't really need to shoot another deer so what in the heck am I doing here?" Normally I enjoy just being out. But not right now. I know when I do see a deer filtering through the brush that the blood will begin pumping again. That's what I am hoping for.

Thanks for all the kind thoughts guys. I agree with what DAve said about colds and deer season. In the last five years I have had pneumonia, bronchitis, upper respiratory infection and influenza. Maybe I will have a good season next year?!?!
I will not be able to make any of this season. this saturday is the last day. However, the last two weeks of January will be an extended turkey season and I should be able to get some of that in. I have a lot of scouting and work to do so I figure I can hunt in the morning and work in the afternoon. I have three trail cams that need to get up on trees. I have quite a few areas to scout and those cameras will help me out.
The best part is I am starting to feel better.
