I know there's worse...better.....tougher...weaker.....I'm just so friggin sick of it. I've been married for 4 years and the foot trouble's been going on for 5. It would be so nice to have a true game plan to folow. I've tried 'em all. Diet, meds, all the tests, the conflicting diagnosis. Up and down.....terrible to so so. It's so blasted hard to cope with the idea that I'm a prisoner of these painful feet for the rest of my years on God's Earth. I'm so tired of fighting the fight. I'm tired of gulping down the pills, icing the feet, living in Birkenstocks...dreading the days I have to wear dress shoes to court. Oh, I could just cry. Sorry for spilling.....I know it is just a long line of another guy blathering........
