Barbara,
I am very curious about your toe walking, as I have been doing this for quite some time and had found that wearing high heels actually helped my legs perform better and relieved my foot pain. The way I "toe walk" is that I step down on my toes before I step down on my heels when flat footed. I don't actually walk on my toes tippy toe style. Is this what you have been doing without realizing it? It just dawned on me in the past couple of years that I was doing it.

Can't wait to hear from you.

Also, since you have a neuro that doesn't communicate really well, you may need to explain to him/her that you would appreciate the information, in layman's terms as much as possible. Many patients don't care to know all the info (mostly older I think, such as my in-laws who ask NO questions until I prompt them for information - they don't understand, don't really want to know, just want relief).

Talk to you soon.

Becky
