arguchikgot an appt with a podiatrist (or perhaps a nurse practitioner facsimile thereof) at the sports med clinic this afternoon. will hopefully get a definitive diagnosis. this, after i could barely stand when i got out of bed yesterday morning. yesterday, due to the weather, i wasn't on my feet much; i also wore my recently retired pair of running shoes, did "toe curls" several times throughout the day, popped ibuprofin, and spent a good 10-15 minutes massaging my arches with a tennis ball before going to bed. the upshot: this morning i had almost no pain when i got out of bed. i didn't take any ibuprofin before i went to bed because i wanted to see what everything felt like in the morning so i can give the pod-doc a good summary of my symptoms.
wish me luck. also wish me luck with the dorky running shoes. i've been trying to buy a good pair of non-athletic shoes for the last 2-3 days, to no avail. i've been to the 3 "comfort shoe" stores near me--2 in the u-district and 1 in wallingford--and none of them had a pair i liked in my size. thus far, i'm leaning toward either a naot shoe or one of birkenstock's "footprints" shoes. whatever i end up with, it won't have a negative heel.
