Thanks for your very nice reply ... comforting to have others in one's camp.

I am not in much discomfort when I am stationary.

What happens to me is that I am fine walking (with friends or shopping or standing while cleaning, etc) for about 30 minutes and then I have to cut it short and stop because my feet start hurting. Feels either like someone is standing on my toes or that my whole feet are in concrete.

I would love to be able to go for walks or be doing a normal activity on my feet for longer and not have to discontinue the activity.

I'm open to any thoughts.

Thanks again for any input.
