Re: Newcomers, take heart!

Thank you for the encouragement. I was diagnosed on Wednesday after about six months of pain. I found this message board and got scared that it would never go away. But after three days of anti-imflammatories, stretches, and ice, my foot feels better already. I have every confidence that it will get even better once I get my orthotics and some decent walking shoes. The bad part about this is, this was my own fault. I had ankle problems three years ago and was told that I needed orthotics then. I refused because the doctor told me I wouldn't be able to wear pumps again. Hey, I was 33 and thought I was too young for Granny shoes. He told me I'd be back and he was right and in more pain than my ankle ever caused. --Lisa
