Ahhh feet problems…………
Starting at 58, almost to the day, I developed plantar fasciitis. It is actually an INJURY to the plantar surface of the heel. It was VERY painful, for a full year, which is a normal recovery time. I tried shoes, all, inserts, $200 that insurance did not cover. Finally I resorted to the shots, which by the way, were not that painful, as I expected. Around the time of the shots, within a month, I think it just ran it’s course, as is the NORM.
Now, at 60, I have developed my 1st bunion. I think FEET just fall apart after a certain age. 60 years of standing on them.
So again I am ‘shoeing,’ trying inserts etc…………any advice????

I usually love the show - but Stacy London always pisses me off when she says "slacks without a zipper are not real slacks."
She's a stylist. As such she dresses perfect Hollywood bodies. Even into their 60's and 70's - most of these women find wa
You need a plan. The book The Verbally Abusive Relationship by Patricia Evans saved my life after 31 years of verbal and physical abuse. Knowledge is power. You can call the domestic violence hotline; a woman's shelter; get into counseling. 1 i
You're welcome, Linda. I agree with you. I do read novels with younger characters, but I get a little tired of the immaturity sometimes, and the issues that don't need to be issues. A mature adult is so much more interesting. And, I enjoy Elizabeth B
To all those Vibrant Women who have, like me, left abusive relationships - whether verbal, emotional, psychological, spiritual, physical, financial, social...or all of the above! - I say congratulations to us!

sigh. i did bunion surgery. 2 feet both at the same time.
if your bunions get big enough, you cant wear normal shoes. and nothing except surgery makes them smaller.
so my advice…..change your shoewwear now. give up the high heels. pronto. give up anything pointy for wide toe styles. Stylish sexy shoes are over.
unless you want them to grow and grow and wind up in surgery And they are never the same. mine are crampy. stiff. and scarred.
oh but im still wearing heels. i’m a fool.
I would try Bunion Bootie. My mom has had great success with them and so have I. If they don’t work out their customer service department is great and will allow a return – even if you’ve worn them for a couple of weeks. They aren’t as tough on the feet as some inserts and braces but you can wear them all day which helps in your shoes.
Otherwise ditto on ditching the heels. Luckily I live in CA where we can wear flip flops most of the year 
Just a suggestion
I will check on Bunion Bootie. I have NEVER worn heels, so at least I made it till 60 before having one KILL ME. I have heard you are ‘born’ with bunions, some just come out later………….ughhhhh
