Yes, I get those sorts of comments. PF is the third foot problem I've had in the past year. It's to the point that I don't talk about my foot problem to anyone except fellow sufferers anymore. I have one colleague with foot problems, and we support each other by eating lunch together everyday. If people do ask me about my foot problems, I usually lie and tell them I'm doing fine. My podiatrist has chronic back pain, so he is compassionate toward patients. If something doesn't work, he tries something else and doesn't take it personally. I had a terrible doctor last year who became nasty if something he tried didn't work. The best thing I ever did for my feet was switch to the podiatrist I have now. I think the people who frequent this board are very helpful and supportive, so this is a good place for people to come and let off steam about their PF.
