Default 4 treatments left

Well I'm not sure what to say. My feet are still numb but I have not experienced any neuropathy/pain or burning through this. The injections are beginning to hurt alot and the doctor says I didn't even flinch in the beginning so he thinks some feeling has returned. I do notice that all my oversized shoes suddenly feel too big and I have worn closed shoes more in the colder weather and actually feel the need for some structure. I have had some itching wich could be a good sign. My doctor still feels that I should get orthotics or at least running shoes from Fleet Feet, but I am not ready to pay $500.00 out of pocket for something and then find myself back in flip flops. My insurrance co payments are going way up so sadly things like this and chiropractic care will have to end. I have had extra flex money for this so it has been worth it. The doctor told me he would wave the orthotic adjustment co pays if I go that way. Friday they wrapped both feet to mimic orthotics. I went on a grueling 6 mile hike in the rain on Sunday over slush and snow and rocky hills. It was too much. I was in horrible pain in my feet, back and knees on the way back(3 or 4 miles needs to be my limit). Maybe 2 or 3. However though my back is still messed up my feet bounced right back. The nurse told me that many people notice improvement a few weeks after the treatment is over. One thing though, is that after the numbing treatments wear off I am so thankful for what I have.
