Foot issues.. suggestions??

[jennielynn1970]

I'm just so surprised at how badly my feet hurt! I swear, it's like someone clubbed my ankles with a mallet! I worked retail about 8 years ago, but I can't remember having this much foot pain.

I did forget to include that I've broken both my feet within the past 4 years. I broke the left foot twice in that time, the right foot once. The right foot was the bones of the foot by the toes, and the left was the bones on the foot across all 5 toes, and then the bones of the ankle on the outside of the ankle.

What really hurts on both feet are my ankles on the inside of my foot.

It's just so weird. I got a call asking if I wanted to do an extra shift tonight and Wednesday, but since I'm on in the AM at 7:30, I said no thanks! I want the extra cash, but I want to give my feet a rest in between that's longer than 6hrs, lol.

Mary, those shoes are interesting looking. My luck, since I'm so uncoordinated, I'd probably lose my balance and sprain my ankles in them.

That is exactly what I was thinking about myself! I have weak ankles anyway. LOL

Sorry, I have no suggestions for ya. I hope you feel better soon though.

Trust me, no one is doppier than I. The only time you really need to be careful is on steps. They're great for weak ankles and, in my case, a bunion, plus my legs get so tired from standing all day but when I wear the Z-coils, my feet and legs feel so much better.

Just wondering... how much did those babies set you back??? They don't look cheap, ya know?!


I checked, and the closest place to me is about 60 miles away, in some town called Lititz. There are places in Jersey as well.

Around $250.00.

That would be like, 2 weeks pay at this place, lol!

LOTS of nurses here wear the Zcoils. They swear by them.

Jenn, I have tons of feet/leg problems, too (extrememly high arches, broke the left foot twice, sprained the right ankle, have a condition where the muscles are stronger than the bones, and I have heel spurs). I *REALLY* like Ryka's. They seem to have the most support of anything I have tried (nike, adidas, etc.) and are fairly reasonable in price. Not only that, they come in "cute-sy" styles which offer just as much support as the regular tennis shoe.

I don't like the look of the zcoils but I do want to try them on next time I see them. Gosh, you know you're getting old when you start trading in your sexy killer heeled peeptoes for who-cares-what-they-look-like-as-long-as-they-have-support! (What's next?! Granny panties?! I think not! LOL )
