Hi Velkyn,
Once again the lovely Littlepaw has saved my eyes by stating all I would. I MUST, though, address the importance of help for Depression. There may be a stigma attached, but there shouldn't be, Depression leads to a worsening of physical symptoms and rarely goes away untreated.

It feeds on one's pain and itself, leading to an ever deepening spiral. It is far better - and easier - to treat before it gets out of hand. It is not a sign of weakness, it is a natural reaction to the difficult life-blow you have to cope with. Accepting help, from Therapy or even ADs if needed will be as important as treatment for your physical issues.

You have already found your shoe and sock issues to be important - others here have the same sort of everyday problems we come here to discuss… and we generally discuss in an organic way as we are peers, not professionals.

Dave.
