1 week progress report, metatarsalgia pain.

Dear Kris / Brent,   Thanks for getting the orthotics done in time for my cruise. I am starting with the lowest. I have been wearing them when in weight bearing since Thursday April 13.  They seem to alleviate the ball foot pain but leave the foot feeling very tired, over-worked almost bruised on their sides but the next morning I put them back on. I bought all new shoes - sneaks and “slides” and they fit very well in them. I ice and massage my feet when needed also.  Will check in soon.  Sincerely  Debbie
Debbie,  Fatigue is a sign that we are changing the way you now walk. The relief in symptoms that you are observing is associated with that change.  Wear FULL time during all weight bearing, and in which ever shoe feels best.  Enjoy your cruise!!!!   Dr. Jarrett
