I finally got my appt for the podiatrist. I asked the woman on the phone about orthotics, they make them in house and they charge $200. I think that's a good baseline as this is a sports med place in Boston where I would think the price would be a little higher. Friday is the day gals...Maybe I need to go get a new pedicure. Or am I going to get lectured? Ah well...it's not the paint that is crippling my feet.

Knotted...I really wish there was a directory of doc and PTs that are 'cyclist oriented'. Whenever I find a doc in my plan I try to do a google search and see if they wrote anything on cycling or just sports in general. The one I finally found wrote alot of a syndrome that sounds like what I have, except there is nothing about cyclists in it, just runners and jumpers.

Miranda- if your feet hit the bottom of the pool you are still imparting some impact to your feet. It's not a big deal if you are just bouncing around and swimming but if you are water jogging and actually jogging on the bottom of your pool, they make aqua shoes (or you can sometimes use regular running shoes) for this. Better yet, just deep water run. No impact on the feet and it's pretty fun
