I'm in MA and on occasion check in in upstate. Welcome! There will be a Vintage Spring Fling in 2017, not sure where, hope you can join in. It's a blast!

I've used these for over a year now, and I love them.
I have to wear them in slippers around the house because I can't stand on a flat surface without feeling pain. They're pricy but they work great.

My flare up is quite a bit better. My foot is not hurting after a class at the Y, but barefoot around the house is not always a good idea. Rick is now dealing with this as well but his is atypical. He has high arches, so his pain is in the arch, not the heel and he's fine when he wakes up, gets worse after he's moved around a bit. He saw a podiatrist yesterday who taped up the foot. Told him to leave that on for four days and he'll see him next week. Rick was also advised to wear his sneakers around the house, barefoot is not good. He's on his feet all day so this is quite uncomfortable for him. Hopefully, he doesn't have to deal with for too long, but we know it's quite unpredictable.

My foot is doing worse. This vacation has included tons of hiking and walking. Before we left, the doctor gave me a set of inserts and some pills that he said should help but no luck. He is prettty sure surgery is in my future due to the fasciitis and and a possible nerve problem simular to carpel tunnel. There will be more work ups done when we get home. Aloha!

Well it is set. Surgery is scheduled for Friday. He is going to release the tendon (I think) that holds and is pinching the nerve. I'll be in a walking boot for two to three weeks.
I told him that I don't care what he has to do or cut just fix it!

I hope your surgery is a success with a quick recovery, David.

Rick recently heard of someone having surgery described it as a type of carpal tunnel but in the foot
