Thx girls for you support and responses thus far. When I was googling the toes pulling up again, I found a couple folks asking questions about it, but not a definate answer. I think that goes to the heel. Which I have heel pain too, besides the balls. Gheez.
I called the insurance company, and we do have a couple podiatrist in our network in Mayberry. Trying to make an appointment today. BUT... the insurance covers zero for custom orthotics.
They would help pay for the doctor, PT if warranted, surgery... but not something to help potentially prevent the problem. Now to ME, that's just sorta backwards ...umm, if I would have had good support, proprer stuff, etc. for my feet in the first place... wouldn't that cost less than a surgery bill?
I don't think I'm to that point. But sometimes these things just don't make common sense.
EDIT: Well, I have my appointment scheduled with one of the two docs in Mayberry for the insurance network... I went with the 30yr practice guy, it's about a 3wk wait as a new patient. I hope I picked the right doc. The spin teacher used the other doc, and had orthotics made. The 30yr guy a GF whose DH is a marathon runner went to see him. He didn't get the orthotics, but some other stuff and improved. Guess, well see.
