Wow Lacey, thank you for this. I could come to Eugene pretty easily and shop! Thank again, especially for the name of the place;) denise

If I wear the right shoes, I'm fine, and I don't even notice it. If I take short cuts on the shoes/support, I start paying within about 2 hours.

Yep, same here. Or walk a lot on cement. The shopping mall is HORRID for me in that way.

This is me to a T. I'd do two things:
1. use the tennis ball like people said..or like me a frozen water bottle. You get a double benefit of massaging the muscls and coldness to help swelling.
2. Go to a walking/running store and get fitted for tennis shoes based on your pronation and it will help immensely.



Also, I see you're in Roseburg...if you ever come to Eugene you can go to the Running Companyin the Oakway Center. They have a treadmill you can walk on so they can see your pronation and fit you for shoes. That part is free.
