It's feeling better but still numb.

I recently got some orthotic insoles made because I walk sometimes 16 hours of the day on a concrete slab, and I was pronating from my naturally neutral step. I was noticing a pain in my arch which I had always thought was plantar fascia related, but the guy who made the insoles for me checked where I was having my pain and we thought maybe it was instead a bone spur on the arch which is rubbing on the lower big toe tendon as it passes under my arch. It's pretty painful so I bought these compression sleeves with gel pads meant to help with plantar fascia pain because I wasn't able to put pressure on it yesterday. They worked like a charm the first day without much pain at home after getting off. After this second day however I have strange sensation like I get when my foot falls asleep right where that gel pad was riding under my arch. It's discolored as well, more of a red, but not what I would call a bruise color, at least not yet. Any idea what the heck is going on?

This morning I went to the doctor and asked for message board advice. He gave me the same look that I'm making right now.

They will just revert me to a specialist. I'll get my own info.

But I bet he still bills your insurance....

I figured there had to be at least one doctor on here.

If it was a paw or a hoof you might have been in luck.

Didn’t read but not a doctor so I say amputation.

My sister's a podiatrist so that makes me the closest thing to an expert on here. I agree with @BCClone.

I think the problem is the boots in your avatar.

Good luck with that. I know 2 people who nearly died because they didn't go to the doctor for various aches and pains. 1 was hours from death, the other just got plain lucky.

You have no idea the nightmare that is Florida Health Insurance right now.

You really should bite the bullet and go see your doctor. Who, unless it is an obvious problem, will refer you to a specialist.

But you really should do it. Life is too short to live in pain. Trust me - I have learned.

You've somehow survived three pages of CF medical advice. I'd say it's time to quit pressing your luck.

I was going to start a thread about "my friend's" bph and ed, but you talked me out of it.
