Guest guest Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Hi wonderful people, I hope there are a few of you here and have not left for Easter holidays yet. I have rheumatoid and fibro and have been in remission with minor flares for 11 years. Three yrs ago I fractured 2 metatarsals on the right foot. Pain off and on. The last year more on than off in the area. Oh how dumb I am ! I ass umed it was from the fracture and refused to try pads. Two weeks ago I put in one metatarsal pad (right foot only). Amazing.no more pain. Two days later my left heel began to hurt anytime I walked. Not on the base but on the back bone. The bone feels like it has no padding and is just a raw bone rubbing. Ok so I know what you do for one side of the body you do for the other.nope.pad not working. Getting major pain now then went away for the weekend and ran after a 3 yr old and a 5 yr old. My DIL who is not a medical person said " oh it looks like you have a wart forming. my hubby had the same pain! " Since I got home I have tried heel pads and arch supports of every kind...it is not as bad but if I sit and am off the site all the pain comes back. I REALLY do not want to see a darn specialist. Anybody have any idea. This only started since I put in the metatarsal pad! Thanks for listening. cooky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
