Hi Dr. Collins,
So, I was taking lab classes in college that required walking. Due to difficulty with that, I ended up taking a medical withdrawal from classes. I need to submit documentation to the school. Here's what they ask for: "Requests due to medical circumstances require an in-depth statement and documentation from your doctor and/or counselors including diagnosis and treatment, and the specific dates of such."
Do you mind writing a short summary that covers these points:
- Patient has been dealing with capsulitis of the toe since 2026-06-22 (w/ Dr. Torgrude), with the suspicion that something more is going on. Though, imaging has revealed no definite cause.
- Conservative treatment has been unsuccessful, and has included: RICE, orthotics, metatarsal pads, supportive shoes, walking boot, crutches, otc medications, oral steroids, steroid shot (external), physical therapy (external), contrast therapy.
- Patient has been on crutches since 2026-08-24 due to debilitating pain and difficulty walking on their foot.
- As of 2026-10-06, patient's symptoms have been trending worse, with no relief from treatment.
Thanks,
Graham Scanlon
