Re: Evening pain
Posted by Robin on 12/03/98
I'm a novice at PF so I don't know how much help I can be. No solutions, just empathy. But I too have evening pain. Actually, I have chronic pain although not stabbing or crippling the way others report it. I just have a regular dull ache in both feet most of the time unless I am completely off of them for loooong periods of time. (Then of course I have crippling pain once I stand again, but we all know that story by heart.) Generally, my feet feel like I have been walking barefoot on gravel. I've been lucky to have worked in a place that let me wear running shoes all day and even use an ice pack on my feet during the day (as long as it was kind of hidden under the desk). It helped enough that I could actually walk, not hobble, to my car. Then of course icing, meds and elevation once I get home. Bearable, but no solution.By the way Becky, I have read about 80% of the board -- and of your job search. Congratulations on the new job. It sounds like you get to wear running shoes all day also, right? Hope so. Once they see how great you are at it -- maybe they will let you pull out a frozen Coke bottle now and then. Or maybe just a less visible cold pack. Never hurts to ask. Anyway, hang in there. The encouragement you have given to others on this board will surely work behind the scenes on your behalf. Robin
