I'm reaching out because hopefully someone can give me some answers to my son.

He has foot pain on the bottom of his feet. It comes and goes and he has been experiencing it for at least 4 years.

Up until last month, this is how it used to go:

About 20 times a year he would experience the pain and 90% of the time it would be at night. I tracked it to try and find any correlation. I tracked what he ate to see if it were some sort of food allergy that caused it. No correlation. I tracked it to activities, and not really any correlation. The pain would either start in the early evening, or in the middle of the night. Sometimes it would be bad enough that he was crying and we gave him medicine and it went away. Sometimes it was the left foot, sometimes the right, sometimes both. We thought it might have to do with his activities like running, but we also noticed the pain would sometimes occur during the day when he had some other illness. So he would be in bed all day because he was sick, and also experience the pain in his feet.

My son plays baseball and we noticed sometimes after playing baseball he would have the pain. We thought maybe it was the running. However, he then started playing basketball and he had practice/games 3-4 times a week with much more running and jumping than he did with baseball. Not really any foot pain during basketball season.

We've been to his doctor over and over. We've had xrays, blood work, and now an MRI on one foot. Nothing is showing up. We saw a podiatrist 2 years ago and he didn't have any explanation examining the foot. We will now see another podiatrist because we just finished the MRI so we need to find out what to do next.

Starting last month the foot pain has been much worse and it is now lasting for multiple days straight. Before, it used to only occur at night and the medicine would help and he would be fine in the morning. As of today he has had constant pain for the past 6 days. Several of those days I had him basically off his feet for nearly the entire day. The pain will get reduced, to barely anything, but then at night it will increase and stay increased over night.

He is playing baseball right now. He does wear cleats, but we've had him stop wearing the cleats and he still has the pain. He also does very little running in baseball for the past 2 weeks.

Our next step is to see a rheumatologist. However, we have to wait for a referral and I don't know how long that will take.

I'm desperate for advice for my son. Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

Edit to add: The pain is mostly on the ball of his foot and less on the heel.

I know I'm a bit late, and I remember reading quite a bit on reddit how people criticized the ending and how it sucked. I liked it.

I'm curious, for those who hated it, what did you find wrong with it?

Edit: So now I've seen some people's complaints. I just want to give some context: I really can't remember much from the prior 4 season. I mean, I remember the premise, but I don't really remember specific details.

What I liked about the ending and basically the entire season 5 was the friendship theme. Yeah, I'm sure you could say that was in every season, but I felt it was particularly strong in this season. I'm in my mid 40s. I lived through the 80's as a kid. This season and ending just really connected with me and how I grew up with my friends and how I think the world has changed so much since then. I have kids myself, and their childhoods are so different than mine, and not in a good way. I think the younger generations probably have a harder time connecting to this in the show. I'm guessing it is getting more hate from younger viewers.

I also understand how there are some plot holes and things just are not realistic and unanswered questions. Dude, do you guys realize what the show is about? There is an upside down world, monsters, magic powers, etc. None of that is realistic. Just roll with it and enjoy the entertainment.

I am running the latest version with all DLCs. I've beaten the Normal question and most of the way through Act III in Epic and it never crashed. I added some mods. Now it starts crashing when there is a decent amount of action on the screen. I changed just about all the video settings to the lowest and it still did it. No crash report. The game just pauses and then it quits to windows.

I removed all the mods except for the Enchanting for Epic and Legendary Items which actually has you replace the Game.dll.

Anyone know what could be the issue or how I can troubleshoot?

What's the simplest way? I don't want the songs on my phone. I just want to play off my desktop to phone on home network.

The incident was initially reported to on-site security: however, established notification protocols were not fully followed, resulting in a delay in notification to building management.

There has been a noticeable increase nationally in disputes involving reasonable accommodations, telework, return-to-office expectations, disability discrimination, and retaliation claims over the past couple of years — especially in federal workplaces and large employers. A few things are contributing to that pattern:

-During and after COVID, many employees successfully worked remotely for long periods, which changed expectations about what jobs can be performed remotely.

-Agencies and employers have increasingly pushed return-to-office requirements or narrowed telework flexibility.
-Employees with disabilities who previously functioned well with telework accommodations are now more often having to re-justify those arrangements.
-Managers and HR departments are under pressure to balance operational concerns, staffing shortages, productivity metrics, and consistency across employees.

As conflicts increase, employees are more likely to file EEO complaints alleging:
* failure to accommodate,
* inconsistent accommodation implementation,
* lack of individualized assessment,
* retaliation after requesting accommodations or filing complaints,
* and hostile treatment after engaging in protected activity.

In the federal sector specifically, telework and accommodation disputes have become a major area of litigation and EEO activity. One recurring issue is whether agencies are engaging in an individualized interactive process versus relying on generalized assumptions or blanket policies.

Another common issue is when accommodations are technically approved but operational guidance, safeguards, or implementation details remain unclear — which can later lead to performance or conduct disputes.

If you have a disability and were denied telework as an reasonable accommodation (RA) file an Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) discrimination complaint and consult with an attorney ASAP. Class action lawsuit might be in the works, possibly at no cost.
