Isn't podiatry for old people?

So I've had this little bump on one of my toes (third on the right if you must know) for a couple months. I pretty much ignore it because I don't see it often (here's an unnecessary detail: it's between the toes). Then yesterday afternoon I took off my walking shoes and BAM! Pain in my toe! And, the pain woke me up at least 2 times during the night. What the heck?! I decided it was a corn and wore one of those goofy corn pads all day. It felt better. And, no, this isn't my foot in the photo...

By 4:00 today I decide I should go to urgent care (my doctor couldn't see me for weeks). I was secretly hoping for it to be a corn even though that would be totally embarrassing to be at urgent care for a corn! But, 2 hours later I am looking at my x-ray with the kind doctor and he is saying "it's a bone spur. Here's your referral to podiatry. They'll probably have to do a little surgery, but don't worry, it's just local shots in your toe."

Local shots in my toe?! Like that is supposed to make me feel better! I know, in the grand scheme of things, a bone spur is not a big deal. I just resent that this is how I am spending my spring break. I am whining. There's no other excuse for it. I'm done now. Thanks for listening.
