Jimmy: I have that SAME problem... I have my next Spinal
Epidurals coming up this Tuesday.. My pain doc uses different blocks that help
from my three bad discs in my low back, all the way to my toes. I have them
about every three months, and right now, since it has been three months. I know
the feeling. I almost had to get a "scooter" in the Wal Mart Super Center last
night, Grocery Shopping with My wife.. After the Epi's, I'll be OK for a month
or two, then it is right back.. and if I have to climb a ladder... MAJOR PAIN
for days... Another thing that hurts bad, and I should know better by now. When
I was a kid here in the South, we NEVER wore shoes.. and it don't help that I am
as flat footed as you can be. A few years earlier and the Military would
NOT have even taken me.. But, old habits die hard, and I STILL go outside with
bare feet, and then my feet hurt for days....Course My doc says it is referred
pain coming off my back discs... So I don't know.. I just know that I have tried
every medication, rub, soak, etc on the market, and only the Epidurals help me..
HTH, Chuck
Oh, and they REALLY hurt when I a bank fishing on a bank
that is on any angle at all...Which is why I guess I love my little jon boat soo
much, I can fish all day in it, and my back will hurt, but not my
feet..

Subject: [VFB] Metatarsal Pain and
Wading
This post is definitely Fishing Related.(SEE BELOW).
If my feet get much worse, I'll be confined to the tying bench and wading will
be a thing of the past. I made the comment several years ago on the VFB
that as long as I could wade, life would be great. Now, it appears that
I'm about to lose one of the things I enjoy most in life. Read below and
if any of you have any suggestions, please speak up. If you want to do it on list, that will be fine with me.
Other members may also have the same problem.
TNX for
any help you can give me.

I either have severely brittle metatarsals or there's something else going on with my feet. I'm now down to just one brand of shoes, (KSwiss) that give me any comfort. When I do a lot of walking, like shopping or walking my fence line repairing the fence at my ranch, the evenings are agony for both my feet. If I stay off them for a couple of days, they seem to be OK, However, another juant like going to Walmart with my wife brings the pain back with a vengeance, as does a day of wading when I'm fly fishing. My Podiatrist was of no help whatsoever. He just said that I had the same ailment as Jose Maria Olazabel, the golfer and it would take a long time for the metatarsals to heal. Didn't put me in casts, Nothing - just take it easy a few days. I'm about 20 pounds over weight and 5' 10" tall. Any suggestions would be sincerely appreciated.
