So...if you suspect a mechanical reason for your foot pain, have you had a good podiatrist work you up? There may be a solution for you, there.

There are just so many things that can affect our feet. Over the more than 10 yrs I have been posting on PN forums, I have seen so many different combinations, and situations. One has to remain open to just about everything where PN is concerned.

I'm way ahead of you. I went to a podiatrist, and she made some test insoles with metatarsal pads. They just redistributed the pain & she told me I might have better luck going back to the chiropractor (in just 2 visits). She said she could give me cortisone injections, but they wouldn't do anything for the "folded sock syndrome".

I'm not a small person & I spent a lot of time in my lousy footwear. I probably really messed up the nerves pretty good. I hate most vegetables, so I have a really lousy diet, & have been taking the vitamins in hopes that the nerves may eventually repair themselves. Don't try to tell me if I want to feel better I need to eat my vegetables. I don't call eating foods that make me want to spit them out any way of (possibly) improving quality of life. More likely just adding to my misery. LOL
