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.

Jimmy,
Are you
diabetic? See a neurologist, if so. Talk to your PCP about
it. I have diabetes and have some neuropathy in my legs. If
your podiatrist doesn't have your answer, find someone that does. I
work at Autozone and spend time on my feet all day, your condition would
incapacitate me and I wouldn't be able to work.
Let the list know!!
