Morton's foot is also known as "Fibro Foot" because it's so common among us. Until I learned about it I was using a cane to get around. Aftert reading about it last year in The Fibromyalgia Advocate (now you know why I push the book) I got a pair of orthotics made & bought a proper pair of shoes for them. Since then I've had much less pain because if you walk/stand funny things get out of alignment & then they get irritated & then they hurt, which triggers myofascial pain which then gets amplified by the fibro so the myofascia clamps down more, causing more pain which is them reamplified, Whew! All because of foot problems. A couple of notes - As well as the padding under the ball of the foot the orthotic needs to be of the soft kind, mine have some kind of foam padding. I suggest you go to an orthopedic shoe store - Foot Solutions are a good chain. http://www.footsolutions.com/ Do get a copy of the book! just the infomation on proper footwear will pay for the cost of the book |
