  • Nah, I'm always a firm believer in "if you're not happy, end it". Been cheated on, but according to him we were never "exclusive" - despite the fact he spent practically every night with me and was quick to try and spend my money for a year. So I know that pain and I wouldn't want to inflict it on anyone, especially…
  • That is the problem with codeine, but the naproxen hasn't helped either, and I've been on them since January. I tend to avoid taking tablets and just try and deal with the pain as best I can. My OH deserves a gold medal for dealing with me walking around like I'm continuously stood on Lego, haha! I don't want to rely on…
  • Me too! Gonna pop and see the podiatrist at the hospital tomorrow and see if they can accept self referrals like the physio's can. I won't hold my breath, but it would be lovely if they could!

I have another appointment next week so I'll demand he refer me this time just to get myself sorted.…
  • I usually use Zumba, Pilates and power walking for exercise. I'm looking at attending aqua aerobics instead of Zumba just to take some of the pressure off my foot. I'll look into getting some decent orthotics though. Thank you guys. :) nice to know I'm not the only one to struggle with this!
  • I've tried a few different insoles, even the ones the doctor recommended only worked temporarily. The injection cleared it completely, but I don't want to rely on an injection every six months. I didn't see tbe podiatrist, just my GP, and he recommended wearing trainers, or shoes that aren't completely flat. Contemplating…
  • Fellow UK chick, and I'm back on the wagon again after falling off it shamelessly for the last year or so. Feel free to add me. Could always use more friends for motivation!
  • Looking to do a femme Link from LoZ in November this year, and hoping to get back into my femme Fourth Doctor cosplay too, so feel free to add me! :)
