Maybe this is why she seems to not be in a good mood lately

She's got spurs that jingle jangle jingle . . . well, Stevie's roots were country.

Maybe Stevie needs to see one of those western Arizona foot specialists:

It sounds pretty miserable. Take care of your feet!

I've heard bone spurs are very painful. Maybe she should have stuck with the reeboks??

It isn't rude at all, Skip. I'm glad you posted it so people can access it easier.
I feel bad for Stevie. Foot surgery, even bone spur removal, is no joke and if she can do without it she's probably better off. I had one removed years ago and I probably would've been better off leaving it alone. I wonder if she's had an MRI on her knee to see how bad the damage is?
It's no wonder she kind of limps sometimes.

I know this is going to come across very badly, but all I can think about is Stevie's penchant for exaggeration. Remember when her implant ruptured and she said she kept it in her freezer as a reminder; then later totally reneged the whole story? Or the Epstein Barr diagnosis that was a thing for a while, then never mentioned again? About how cocaine burned a nickel-sized hole in her septum; except it was actually the dissolved aspirin concoction she invented that did that? I could keep going, but the point being... don't listen to her, listen through her.

Oh it's one of my very favorite pieces of Mac lore- right up there with the roadie-coke-up-bum urban legend.

I believe Stevie said her doctor kept the implant material in a bio-freezer. It wasn't in Stevie's freezer next to the frozen peas.

Epstein's Barr can lie dormant in one's body forever or it can periodically flair up. The nasal septum thing- I think you may have an argument there, but probably the coke did damage as well. If she used it to the extent that we've read about, it's not a benign "medication." You can find people who will tell you they have had nose bleeds from the irritation.

I like to imagine it next to her Weight Watcher meals.

It's been forever since I read the article, but I seem to recall her saying she kept the implant at her home in Phoenix as a reminder. It was only later that she changed that claim after some journalists started making light of it.

Regarding Epstein Barr... I'm pretty sure it was actually Klonopin addiction. Ever since Stevie went through rehab for Klonopin, nary a word has been mentioned about Epstein Barr since.

And the coke hole... Stevie is the only person, celebrity or otherwise, who I have ever heard of having a hole burned completely through their septum because of cocaine usage. I cannot imagine her intake outstripped every single rock star or actor throughout history, either. She freely admitted within the past couple of years that it wasn't the coke that caused the hole, but the aspirin solution she made to combat the nasal irritation from coke usage.

I adore Stevie's musical/singing/songwriting talents, but personally... I'm inclined to not trust anything she says as the truth. It may reflect elements of the truth or at least her feelings... so I don't think she's really being intentionally dishonest. But all the same, I would never, ever trust her thoughts and recollections as definitive.

OK.thanks.My mother had bone spurs when she was in her mid 50's.Spending a lifetime on cement floors with bad shoes it added up.They very painful with my mother.When she had them remove.She was a new person with out pain.

I hope Stevie get these takin' care of after this tour is over. and also get that leg checked out.She has to find comfortable boots and stay away from those highrise foot high heel boots.

Back in 2009 I dislocated my knee when I lost my balance on the front steps of my old apt.as I was moving over here.At the time the pain was almost nothing .I end up going to see Stevie in Atlantic City .At that time I felt alittle pain and had a blast at the show and spend a couple days walking the boardwalk.I brought some pain killers which was Vicodin left over from my Dentist appointment weeks earlier .I'm glad I did not need to take them.The knee cap brace rig I picked up at the time helped alot.When I got home .I went to my doctor and found out I dislocated my knee which I did not know it at the time when I was in my travels to the concert.He relocated my knee and I was fine after that.

Well I did check to see if anyone posted it before I posted it. I would never think to look in a Waddy interview or a House of Blues thread

Don't blame it on me....blame it on my wild heart

Looks like Frankenboks from here on, folks.

Don't worry about it...It was originally posted in the "Rumours" New Interview-"The Mirror" and the fact that Stevie may require surgery is reason enough to start a new thread in the "Stevie" section...
