High Arches

ETA: Happy Birthday! [livejournal.com profile] keesa_renee

Visited the doctor today, who told me that he couldn't tell me if I had plantar fascitis or a heel spur without an x-ray. Basic idea, no weight bearing aerobics for a while, take loads of ibruprofen (he could have given me a prescription, but I already have the loads of ibuprofen, and it'll do that same job) use ice on foot, wear orthotics to support the arches. Oh, yay.

Anyhow, I stopped and bought a pair of the arch supports for people with super tall feet. Without them, I can't wear most sandals, clogs, and other high-throated shoes because my arches are already too high. With them, I'll be lucky if any of my shoes fit! Silly feet.

I can put up with it for a while, I guess....

I am, BTW, very cognizant of the fact that I'm fortunate in the feet I have....so ;-P back.
