I wear braces most of the time, but when I take them off, I can see that my feet are 'smaller' 'flatter', the bones stand out tho' even the bones seem to be shrinking.

When I walk barefoot (to the bathroom at night) with my walker, I can sense that my feet are much flatter and that the cushioning on the bottoms is disappearing.

I feel like Alice in Wonderland, as I wave farewell to parts of my body. No magic mushrooms however.

Just PN and all the attendant joys.

If your feet are collapsing, then a podiatrist would order proper orthotics to support the foot. They already seem to help me...but pain increases as soon as I take off the shoes with the orthotics in them. Getting up in the night is the most painful time...when I have no support and each step feels as if my bones are breaking in my foot.
