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....

Nah, I can take ibu like candy. I've got a seriously good digestive system. He could have prescribed mobic or....oh, the other one...but said that the ibu would have the same effect in the long run.

The arch supports are weird in that I'm really not walking on my heels. At all. These are designed to put all the weight across the arch. (which, if it's PF, will stretch that tendon)
