Guest guest Posted January 1, 2001 Report Share Posted January 1, 2001 Hi Shira, My problem is the opposite. The more I walk around, the more my feet swell and hurt! I have some info that may help that I'll forward to you privately. Do you wear, or have you tried foot orthotics? This may help even our pressure on your feet when you are walking and help a bit. Jill hi everyone, i hope you all enjoy the new year! i was just wondering if anyone else has this problem. the more i walk around, the more my feet seem to shrink. when i put my shoes on in the a.m., they fit, but after a couple of hours, i am swimming in them. my dr. says that he thinks my bones are compressing onto each other. this may be what happens, but they sure hurt like crazy. after i rest for a while, or put my feet up, they seem to go back to normal for a short period of time. anyone have a clue?

I have some info that may help that I'll forward to you privately. But I am very interested, as I am suffering the worst feet. Like you swelling and hurting. Man 10 acres never seems so big until its yours and you have to walk it four or five times a day!!! It probably has a lot to do with the shoes I am wearing. Slip ons, to slip off, when I have to go inside all the time. They have no support for my ankles or arches. <shrug> I would be very interested in any info you could offer.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2001 Report Share Posted January 2, 2001 Ugh. It sounds as though you've really tried to work with this! Maybe it's time for a whole new look at your feet and your othotics and see if there is a need for a complete change? Jill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My feet swell badly during the day, even when I am using the wheelchair all day. As my arches are attempting to drop (and I have enough problems getting shoes to fit anyway) we are trying to stop that with foot and arch supports. My feet don't hurt as much now and my arches are fine (as long as I use them). I find the bones don't move around as much when I wear the supports, so it seems to reduce the subluxing bones in my feet. Every little bit helps! -- Fuller Winchester, England HEDS, FMS, OA, IBS, lumbar scoliosis, multiple allergies, asthma.... Please excuse any typos or odd phrases. I am talking to the Dragon.
