I am just at my wits end with this. I am supose to go back to work on Nov. 3 when my leave is up, I just don't want to go back and still be in pain. I took 3 weeks off with no pay-- my short term disability dosen't kick in until the 16th day and after, so I will not get paid for the first 15 days. I guess I'll try for more time off and see if we can't figure it out soon. I just don't want to go back and have to take more time off unpaid and start all over with the short term.

thanks for letting me vent
I have special inserts made for my feet (I am diabetic). I think everyone should wear them, they are great!
Anyway.. I have 2 pair.. and I have to switch them out every month so as to not wear them down so fast. I get 2 new pair every year. How long have you had your inserts? Maybe time for new ones.. maybe get 2 pair and switch them out.
Are your feet boney? My feet are (only thing boney about me haha) That can cause pain.. no fat to cushion them.. that's where the inserts come in very handy!
