It's all about the feet

I'm 60, overweight my whole life and riddled with foot pains. I have gout, diabetis, tendonitis and plantar faciitis. It hurts to take a step sometimes. I wear SAS(San Antonio Shoes), the best, most comfortable shoes made in the USA, to help. I take Allopurinol for the gout. I plan on one more treatment that may completely solve my foot ailments, retirement. LOL

Re: It's all about the feet

I`m 56,a bit overweight and have type two diabetes. But about 5 years ago I started going to the gym and doing yoga. That has cured the other things like psoriasis and SAD and the weight is down a bit.

I sometimes think I should get paid for a gym advert-not because I`m super fit,quite the opposite in some ways ---but a picture with the caption



`You too could have a body like mine`

`If you are not careful`

Re: It's all about the feet

I very much sympathise with you bobmeikle, I'm very overweight and have suffered with Plantar faciitis, luckily mine went after a few months but it was very painful.

Good luck when you decide to retire, don't make it too long thinking about it.

Re: It's all about the feet

I'm convinced it's my job that causes all my foot problems. I work 12 hour days and am standing most of the time. When I'm off from work as I am today nothing hurts.
