I think that is great that you are feeling better and in much less pain. Keep on doing what you are doing. Its great to hear success stories.

I keep busy and do what i can and am distracted at times but after a short while my feet insist on reminding me and i can feel the pain while im on them. I try not to let it stop me and i do push myself. Sometimes i hit a brick wall and thats it for that day and i have to ease off or take the day off, but im right back there as soon as i can. I think it really depends on what a person has and how far advanced it is and how much pain, as to what degree and length of time they can become distracted.

Keep up the good work and good luck.
