I am so depressed, after
I am so depressed, after going without orthotics for 5 days the foot and arch pain is so bad I had to put them back in/on tonight . I just can' afford to not be able to walk especially since i have 3 small kids that I have to chase after. I guess maybe going completely cold turkey was a really bad idea. Advice anyone? Should I start by removing them and walking around for 1 hour a day for several days, then 2 hours etc? That is the way I was weaned into these evil menaces, I guess that is the way out? Right now I feel very hopeless, like I am tied to these dang things forever. Will keep up the icing, stretching, foam rolling etc. If I really start to have a pity party for myself, I remind myself that I am not in a wheelchair, I am not paralyzed, I will run again etc etc.
