As I mentioned on Twitter just a little while ago, the end is near for me and VFFs. I let my heel hurt for two months before doing anything about it. I wanted to wait and see if it was just a bruise that would heal. Dumb. Since then, I’ve been going to a chiropractor who specializes in extremities (shoulders, knees, feet, hands). We x-rayed the foot and he diagnosed me with calcific tendonitis (extremely rare for a foot, I’m told), plastic degeneration (ligaments are too stretched to naturally return to original size and shape), sesmoid non-union of the first metatarsil, and fallen arches.
It’s been awhile since I blogged on this site. I have a confession: I don’t wear my Fivefingers anymore. Except to the local pool. You may have read why I started wearing them in the first place. Well, my feet have overall NOT improved. My arches (who knew there were three on each foot?!?) are worse, not better. But the latest and most severe problem is my heel.
