I’ve never seen your bare feet before, but I see a bunion on the joint below your big toe….actually, I recognise it. I have a bunion on both of my big toes, which has forced my second toes to cross over the big toes. Thanks Mom. Surgery might fix the appearance of my twisted and ugly feet; but the promise of a long not-pain-free recovery keeps scalpels away. Bgawk. My future is bare of stilletto heels…sigh. Fortunately, I have always preferred sneakers.

Thank you Kate and Linda, my sweet champions! I have not taken the next step as yet and your recommendations are much appreciated.

Poor Camille! You are amazing to get such insight out of this situation. I remember those treatments were painful, too. An excellent physical therapist who may help get to the right question and answer is Cathy Busby. Highest recommendation. She’s in Cary near La Farm Bakery. (A good post-therapy reward stop.)

OH Camille, I’m so, so sorry you went through all that…only to find that you still have the pain in your foot (but gorgeous legs, to match the rest of you!). Has the podiatrist made any helpful suggestions? You couldn’t have plantar fasciitis, could you? It took seven months and constant wearing of insoles (specifically for P F…just $11 at CVS or Walgreen’s) to get past it. Now I’ll never go barefoot again. Hugs, Kate
