alonewiththemoonHere's an excellent and detailed illustrated discussion of foot structure--I can tell exactly which bit of my nerve structure is affected, given the sensations I get in the second two toes after the big toe. It's amazing how complex a foot really is. It's a mechanical wonder.
I just scheduled my third cortisone shot for early May. I've planned to take the day off work so I can go home immediately afterwards and baby it. Unfortunately it's 4 days before the Mohamed Shahin workshop, so I really hope I can avoid the severe pain I had the last time around. Right now the ball of my foot feels mostly okay; there's still something occasionally popping and squishing in there, but it's ignorable. The undersides of my toes, however, are very cranky in a way that makes long walks rather challenging. I am hoping that this is temporary as I am ramping back up my foot exercises. At least my foot bends properly now, that's progress, even if it doesn't do it comfortably.
