    with my heel, it feels like what my momma use to call a "stone bruise", there's no discoloration or anything. I can't put any weight on it when I first get up in the morning, it gets some better after an hour or so, but doesn't completely stop hurting at all. I can't think of anything special I might have done to it.

    I'm guessing Plantar Fasciitis. I could roll my heel over the edge of the coffee table and I would swear I felt something in there. The Doc said no, gave me a cortisone injection and some stretching exercises to do. At first, I thought the stretching was dumb, but it made a big difference. Plus, I had very little arch support in the Rockports I was wearing. Now I'm gellin like a felon in every pair of shoes I wear. My feet don't don't bother anything like they used to, and that was well before I came off of the concrete floor last year. By the way, that shot in the heel was a mother - both times.

    It feels like the bone is trying to push through the bottom of my foot. I'm going to try those heel thingys, that will probably require wearing shoes, right?

    Fwiw, for reasons that I can't explain, I had feet problems when I was around 63/64 yo. I bought several pairs of shoes and inner sole pads thinking it was arch or hard sole problems. That didn't help. The feet would hurt for three or four days straight, then be OK, seemingly more in cold weather.
    Now the problems have gone away on their own, I can't explain it. All I'm doing different now that I wasn't doing before the problems is wearing medium thick socks.

    I just chalked it up to my body settling. [I know I'm 2 1/2 inches shorter than I was ten years ago.]
