It was the Ford Pinto.

Oh yeah! The Pinto!

Thanks Kitt!

Update: On 7/31 I decided to try training on my own at a friends kickboxing gym. I had about 3 more times prior to that where I only needed Gaba every other day. Not saying I was doing great but it was an improvement. I had bad days as well

I was wondering if doing workouts that required a lot of movement of the ball of my foot and toes might increase circulation and aid healing. This is where most of my trouble is. I realize this is a risk

It's been back and forth. Some really bad, but almost always recovered enough to work out a little the next day. However last week was bad and I decided to take a few days off from the gym. I took Friday-Monday off. I took Gaba Thursday night and didn't need it again till late Monday afternoon. Almost 4 full days

I'm still only doing the supplements 1 time a day but will up it in the next few weeks.

Also started taking baths with Epsom salt as I'm sore. This may be helping my feet but the verdict like all of this is still out

I'm think I'm slowly improving

Epsom salts really help me. I buy them in bulk at Costco in fact!

If the ball of your foot really hurts, I'd make sure you get X-rays of that. The sesamoid bones are there and can move or crack or crush and cause alot of pain. Sometimes the tendon itself is the culprit. I had one steroid shot in my left foot for this years ago and it helped. Both of my feet have sesamoid bone damage, and my podiatrist told me to only walk in firm soled shoes...not spongey types. This prevents the bone fragments from moving around and inflaming the tendon sheaths more. Surgery for this is possible but he said may lead to a bunion down the road, so we manage it with Salonpas and conservative activities.

MrsD Hope you had a GRRRREEAAATTTTTTTTT vacation
