As it’s worsened I’m assuming it’s something else.

The pain in my feet has a new, and difficult to deal with
component - fat pad atrophy, so I can feel some of the bones
of my feet through my skin. It’s really painful walking after
a very short distance. Along with this I also have the wrinkled
fingertips with reduced pulp. It makes handling keys for example
quite painful.

Is this a common complaint and does anyone know of a solution, especially
for the feet. I miss my hiking days.

Keith,
If it wasn't for a great orthotist and the custom orthotics he shapes from plaster foam box impressions, I'd be SOL! Combine these orthotics with a pair of New Balance 857 high support cross-training shoes and I'm good to go. This formula has served me well for the past 12 years.
