In addition to the plantar fasciitis, I'm pretty sure I've developed sesamoiditis, inflamation of the tendons around the sesamoid bones at the ball of the foot. Same foot, of course. Most of the contributing factors apply to me, except for the bad shoes part, and I've had this dull ache in the ball of my foot for about ten days now. I'm pretty sure what brought it on was working on an intense choo-choo shimmy in the finale of the drum solo I did last week. One of the sites I looked at mentioned "repeated microtrauma" as a contributing factor, and that would be a choo-choo shimmy all right. I don't think I broke a sesamoid, but I guess if the pain doesn't go away in a while I'd better see a doctor. In the meanwhile, it's ibuprufin and ice for me, and I guess I'll get some kind of foot pad to go alongside my arch supports. Anybody else have any experience with this?

I would really like to be able to trade my foot in for a new one. Where's my cyber implants, baby?
