High Arches

ETA: Happy Birthday! 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....

Oh no. I was out of action for six weeks this year with a torn calf so I sympathise with any leg related problems.
I recommend a great book called Pain Free. Can't remember the author's name off hand. I'll get it for you if you want it. Th exercises are great,and the logic of it will have you going around with arched eyebrows for a week. :)
