I too, am small boned, and the doctor thinks because of this and family history that I have a predispostion for osteoporasis. Therefore, I have been on Premarin for almost 18 mths. now & calcium supplements -- I did not equate starting on it with any big improvements in my feet but it certainly did not make them worse. My doc also told me to take the calcium 3 times a day but I just am not very good at following thru with taking pills that many times a day!Premarin may have helped(along with the birks) as my PF/spurs (both feet) has been very good the last year -- until just this last couple weeks - been doing some killer overtime and it has not been good standing over 12 hrs. a day on concrete. Will try to slow down alittle in next few weeks and see if I can get it to quiet down again. Still not as bad as it was prior to the birks cure. I'm more like I was when I first got PF instead of after the 4 yrs... at least right now so I want it to not go that far again.
