OVERDOSE? Of pain, you mean? Well, until the docs come up with 'standards of/for comparison' we are all outta luck besides being in forced good moods or truly totally grumpy!. But, as Joe is always very good to point out-we make do as best we can.

As for that PT website? I found that in my searches in the last two years [first year: broken foot bone PLUS other ankle severe sprain; second year: Knee fractures in two places {on a knee that'd had surgery 6+ years before -3 years before PN stuffs}] I already KNEW what to do...just needed refresher pictures? Gotta do it SAFE if you are going to do it. Alternatives aren't well, good?

We all have the pain[s], we all articulate it differently. We are suviving tho! More power to us! Less to the docs. - j

PS I have found that the only BEAUTIFUL shoes are those that FIT!
