It aggravates me to no end when you can type two simple words into a search and get thousands of hits, but bring it up to your doctor and many times they will act as if you have no idea what you're talking about. I've asked my doctors simple questions and gotten no response, not even an "I dont have an answer." I've just been completely ignored. I've asked what kinds of things I could do to help, and gotten "nothing, There's nothing you can do. But I have this medicine I can prescribe." Yet there are a million answers to my questions online.

I asked my podiatrist about getting orthotics. She had never mentioned the word to me. I had a neuroma in both feet, multiple ingrown toenails, and BUNIONS that the other doctor had said looked like my feet were 65 years old instead of 32. He said I would no doubt need surgery. My pod told me I had "no problems structurally in my feet" when I asked and I was not a candidate for orthotics.

My chiro had already said I might be able to avoid surgery if I got orthotics. So last week he got me orthotics. And he has been working on my feet in conjunction with neck and back. And this week I've had no neuroma pain, no burning. I am still getting cold feet/ankles/calves, however. If you looked at my feet, it would be obvious that I have structural problems.
