Foot pain

Janny

Hi I just wondered if anyone had any recommendations for footwear or easily available insoles to use in the gym. I feel a bit of a fake really because since starting treatment the only symptom I appear to have is pain the balls of my feet but I want to go to the gym and stuff. Hopefully someone may have used something that they can recommend. Janny

It's nice to hear that someone is geting some benefit from their treatment and feels they can still do things like go to the gym! I cannot help as the gym and I are absolute strangers now (truth be told, we always were!) but for insoles I use ones designed for trainers as they have a good arch support. My feet are now totally flat and the support does help, I think, tho walking isn't that easy now. It might be worth your going to a Scholl shop, for example, and trying the different supports they stock to see if you can find one that is comfy for you. I wish you well. DD

Sorry, I know that I am really lucky with minimal syptoms and am very grateful but you know what some people are like, never happy. Thanks very much for the tip though. Janny

Even minimal symptoms are too many. I think with insoles you really do have to try them, I have wasted money in the past ordering such things via the mail, never again. I hope you find something. DD

Hi janny

DD is right about wasting money - my sister has spent 100s that way :sad:

If you are looking for a cheap option you can buy memory foam ones to try form any chemist and the idea of a sc*oll assessment sounds good too

Hi Janny
I agree with Toni, try some memory foam insoles they will take some of the inpact out of your feet.
And dont apologies for not being in to much pain, I truly hope it continues for you.
Love
