Hi Wayne, another question about my metatarsalgia...when I am in my non-running shoes, or barefoot, it feels like there is a distinct "thickening" at the base of my 2nd and 3rd toes almost like a big wad of bubble gum. Is this tissue swelling...should I apply ice, or do you think it is a big ole callous that has formed? It feels strange. Thanks. Cheryl
it's probably swelling,keep icing it...we can also put smaller pads in your dress shoes..i'd also suggest not going barefoot--at least wear slippers cause its better than nothing..glad you are doing well...wayne
Wayne, Can't wait for you to see our Cody, WY pictures! It is fantastic here! We went to the rodeo tonight and we are going white water rafting tomorrow. I have wogged twice for 2-3 miles and I walked 3 miles Sunday with no heel pain. I am so excited. I am sure my fracture has healed. Thanks for great advice. My orthotics are becoming more comfortable each time I wear them and seem to take some pressure off my heels. The elevation here is around 8000 feet as opposed to about 230 in Jackson so it is more difficult to breath when running. Take care!! Jana
