My podiatrist had ordered iontopheresis, but the PT though it wasn't really necessary since it's more for inflammation, and my feet aren't really inflamed, just tight. The PT also said that most HMOs won't cover it and it's an expensive treatment, so we skipped it.

While my PT was doing RAGBRAI, I had appts with another PT who had me do some nerve stuff (the sheet says Slump Tibial Nerve Mobilization, and flexing my foot different directions to work on the nerves on the sides of the ankles). That was new, but I can't say whether I saw any benefits...

I do not have footbeds in my shoes. I can't wear tennis shoes to work, so I need to build up a new shoe collection (I wore high heels a lot, so now I have to find cute, comfy, flat shoes that will take a footbed). Any suggestions for comfy but cute dress shoes?

Knot - My PT hasn't given me any exercises other than stretches. Do you have some to suggest?

THANKS for sharing your wealth of knowledge!
