Marie,
It is very distressing to know the pain and anquish that you are going through. Have you been checked for a hairline fracture of the bone in the foot? That is one of the items ruled out for me. Also taking a bottle of water and freezing it then rolling my foot over it helped a whole lot along with stretching the muscle in the calf of my leg. I wear soft orthodics with New Balance shoes custom, sole and wedges on them that help alot. I tried the hard orthodics but my feet hurt worse with them than being on my feet at work. By the way Workers Comp. continues to pay for my shoes and orthodics because my Orthpeadic/Foot Specialist prescribed them permantly. Have you tried the Oruval Ketoprophen? It is the only medication that seemed to help me. Also now that I get my shoes to fit plus room for swelling that helps. Who cares if they look like rowboats, I have enough pain without self inflicting more. Let me know if you have tried any of the above. Maybe together we can come up with something that will help. This comment page has helped me alot in knowing that I am not alone and realize that this is a lifetime problem I will have to deal with. Later, Brenda
