I have the prescribed expensive orthotics. I really need to buckle down on the stretching. I hate stretching and seem to avoid it. My podiatrist said that if I don't stretch I have little chance of healing. Ugh. I have had this for over a year now, so I am beyond frustrated and tired with the whole thing. I really miss running. Heck, I miss walking or standing comfortably. I have been moving into a new house the last few days and the level of pain is really crazy bad. But, I got my bike and my trainer moved so if I can't get outside I can get set up to do something pretty easily. And those stretches....I really need to do them.
