My Aching Feet!

That's It? Another microscope moment brought to you by Jess's radiology

Went to the podiatrist last week.  She couldn’t get in to see my xrays but managed to have a look during the week.  Said she could see the area of the stress fx and had a yak to one of the sports docs who agreed that treatment should just involve taking the load off of the bone.  So now I have some fancy pants orthotics in my shoes to do that job.  It seems to be working as my forefoot isn’t sore, but oh my god, who would have known orthotics could be so uncomfortable!  I hope it’s just a matter of getting used to them as I’ve already had them adjusted to make the arch more comfortable (feels like it’s digging into my heel or walking on a rock all day), but a trial walk around an office and a day on your feet are totally different things!

Hip is doing great.  Had my trial ‘last’ acupuncture session on Tuesday, she must have wanted to go out with a bang as I ended up with a huge bruise from one of the needles lol  I got a new exercise to do to activate my glutes and take the load off my hip flexors.  Have to report back next week on how things are so we can decide whether I need to go back.

Off for a bike ride now while there is a gap in the rain.  It’s so cold here now!  Glad for my new wind/waterproof booties
