I saw a foot doctor. They said i have bone spurs extending upwards and causing my tendons to shorten. Which is what is causing the pain in the right side. The left is from compensating for the pain. She did 3D scans of my feet and legs to do custom shoe inserts. Im also to sleep with a splint on that holds my feet extended flat to stretch and hopefully lengthen the tendons in my legs. Its kinda uncomfortable. I tried it a few days ago with my sons walking boot from when he hurt his foot. So im going to have braces on both feet while i sleep.
I also found a place online that the doctor recommended for shoes. I ordered two pair. One a heeled boot and one a flat shoe. She says i need to be wearing shoes in the house at all times. Move the insoles from one pair to another. Work shoes are good with being hokas. And then move the inserts to easy on offs that TIE or lace. NO slip ons. For in the house. So i ordered mary jane style flats. They are supposed to be good for the pain of plantar faciatis and bone spurs. So fingers crossed?
Its been 5 years of pain. Getting worse. So yeah i dropped a couple hundred dollars on shoes today…
I also went by work to grab my schedule ( opening again next week) and i went ahead and bought a few pair of jeans. Clearance. I got 120 dollar jeans for under 30. And they are study quality jeans. had no idea what size i wore because ive only bought jeans on the 10/12/14 style jeans. And my store does width length like mens. Only i fit my husbands size 38 mens pants! So uhhh. I ended up with 34 w and 32 length. Actually i got a couple of 34 length. Too long. But they were on one hell of a discount. And they are cute! So yeah i spent a couple hundred dollars today. I feel guilty BUT i also needed pants BAD and i need flats according to the doctor for house shoes. And if they DO help the pain then i can wear them to work too and give my hokas a rest. Its not good to wear just one pair of shoes. They wear out really fast and get stinky.
So yeah. There was my day. We got our stimulus if you cant tell. We paid off a chunk of the debt. Did 900 in food shopping and got those. My next paycheck i gotta get Co some new shoes too. He has 11.5 inch feet.... And im worried all my kids are going to grow based on their eating habits haha. Thank goodness its almost summer.
