Today I went to see a podiatrist because I've been having some pain in my foot, which started after I started to integrate running into my soccer-mom fast-walking workout. I haven't been able to do any exercise, which is really frustrating, especially when I was just starting to get into it. It turns out I have a neuroma, which is a thickening of nerve tissue between my metatarsals. I also have high arches and I pronate like a mother, which is the reason for my weird-looking feet. (Well, one reason. The monkey toes aren't related.) The pronation means my whole leg is out of whack, giving me knock knees and a bit of bowing in my tibia. Awesome. Throw in pigeon toes, and I'll be set.
The one great thing about this is that I got a podiatrist, on the record, telling me that I should be wearing heels. Flats aren't good for my arches. She didn't sign off on the stilettos, though, but chunky-heeled platforms are cute, right? Or maybe some Frye boots? I wonder if I can take a doctor's note to Nordstrom and get a discount.
