Feet glorious feet

It’s been a year since the last foot surgery (the third foot surgery in 5 years for those keeping score) and so back to the podiatrist I went to look into some continuing pain and swelling. The feet, I made them look at both feet this time, are looking good according to the x-ray’s. Everything is healing nicely and the pain and swelling are probably just due to my foot being swollen and in pain for 8+ years and it takes time (12-18 months) for things to heal my podiatrist said (my chiropractor has also been saying this). Time. Grrr. After all this time, I am not too patient when it comes to my feet.

Feet are weird things. They really control you life. Foot pain leads to back pain, and back pain leads to foot pain. Its a vicious circle. You need to create good foot health to be pain free, but very few people do that. Since my three foot surgeries I have refuse to wear any shoes that I am not totally comfortable in. I don’t care how they looks, I just care how they feels. Life is way too short – wear good shoes that make your feet happy and pain free.
