great!! downside? then that means i (we) dont really know what the hell is happening with my feet. my left foot; i have heel pain. plantar fisciltis. i ice it regularly, put Superfeet insoles in everything i wear, and stretch my calf muscles. things have gotten better.

my right foot? i had severe pain in that metatarsal joint. i took my emergency gout meds, and it subsided..doc took some Xrays, and saw signs of previous injury. he said the anti-inflammatory of the gout meds helped the pain. i saw the doc in august, and the soreness is still there. doc said, it gets confused for gout all the time. but three months is a looongg gout attack..he told me to lay off the jogging for one more month.
he thinks i have friedberg's disease, or AVN..where a bone gets cracked and dies. he said it hurts like a mother effer.
if i push on the joint with my finger, i can trigger soreness.

one thing for sure, i never take my feet for granted anymore. i quit drinking alchohol thinking it may be gout..and i need to get lighter on my feet..for my feet.
