My foot system is in serious trouble...
I have orthotics, inserts for the toe box of my shoes, boots & shoes that are
wide
& long enough (14's), but due to some kind of a joint problem, I am unable to
walk
for more than a few minutes (always with pain).
I have had foot problems for the last year or so. I went to the doctor, the
podiatrist,
got orthotics, took drugs (or was that college... hmmm....). I still have the
problem,
only it has gotten worse in the last 2 months. Maybe it was the Grits I was
soaking
my feet in (I sure didn't want to eat them...).
Now I have to go back to the doctors & start over, just to get to the point
where I
can walk without pain.
Now where is this all leading? Take care of your feet! Use insoles, well
padded shoes, etc. before you hike too, not just during your hike. Can't hurt
to have them looked at by a doctor either (or a Swedish massage parlor....),
to eliminate any physical problems.
Personally, my pain comes from an area I hurt many years ago. It's great for
a while, then hurts like hell for a while (like a marriage...). I only seem
to pay attention
to it when it hurts (and I am paying the price now).
