Not that I'm happy several of you also have foot problems but it does make me feel a little better to know I'm not alone. I have really felt like it's only me. I'm so frustrated that I've had years of pain in one body part or another. Why can't it just go away for good? I've tried many different things, spent an enormous amount of money on treatments and yet it just continues on. When my joint pain started years ago I had to pass on a girls trip to Italy, I knew I couldn't keep up, and that crushed me. I'm starting to feel crushed again. I really hate the pause before I do anything....what shoes will be the best, can I actually do that, how much pain will I be in after.
I appreciate all the advice everyone had offered . I totally agree on getting professional advice and I have a great osteopath/athletic therapist that has always steered me in the right direction. Unfortunately, my family doctor who is amazing is retiring this month. I know she would have gotten me sorted out if there was more time. We did get lucky and there is a new doctor taking over for her but I have no idea how that is going to go and won't even be able to see her until August. In the mean time, I'm doing acupuncture (which in the past has been excellent) and I will see my osteopath. I'm considering orthotics and can get those at the osteo clinic if he thinks it will help.
Back to AM....I had DH buy just a single avocado yesterday and that receipt I loaded on DD's account. It went through immediately but not the 75 flash offer. My receipt was 23" long (yes I measured....I think the size is what has been the hold up every week) and as usual it did not go though BUT this time it said the thing about not recognizing anything. So I did the inquiry. I bought a case of coke and tofu. Yes, the dreaded Tofu again!
