Well, after a few of my friends on here and at work suggested that i get a second opinion about my foot pain, i decided to go see a poditrist after work today. He took 10 minutes with me and was able to figure out what's wrong...i have plantar fasciitis which is simply an inflimation or small tears of the tissue that holds up the arch of my foot. So i have been orderd to not run or do streneous activity, to not walk barefoot, to do foot exercises, and to get orthotic inserts. I got the molds for the orthotics made right there so they should be in in 7-10 days. I asked him if i can run and he said definitely not until my orthotics come in and that after that we'll see how i do with the exercises and inserts. I'm thrilled because that's sooooo much better than someone saying that nothing's wrong and to just take pain meds.
