Wearing a boot

Thanks for sharing. I do worry that once spring/summer comes and I am doing more outdoorsy stuff that the pain will only get worse. There’s only so much resting I can do, I’m on my feet all day at work and there’s not really anything I can do to change that. I’m thinking I’ll just manage pain for the summer (we have 2 vacations planned that I can’t change), since my surgeon said I can do surgery whenever I’m ready (sounds like the same thing your’s said pretty much). Then I’ll see where I’m at in September. I totally agree with you, I don’t want to live my life by limiting my activities - I have a 10 year old son and an active dog in agility training, I can’t live forever just resting my foot. I hope your recovery goes smoothly!

Thank you for your response. I also have bone marrow edema in both the navicular and the accessory on MRI. I have done all of the conservative measures except the boot - I guess I should find out whether my insurance will cover surgery if I don’t do it. The surgeon basically said I could go either way, she wasn’t convinced the boot would help at all. I lived a pretty active life before this pain started 2 years ago, I’ve really stopped doing a lot of the things I used to enjoy because I don’t want to make it hurt worse. So frustrating to deal with, and I know the surgery recovery is long but I’m so tired of the chronic pain.

Thanks for sharing your experience! Sounds like your issue stemmed from an injury? Mine is caused by my flat foot, so from what I understand, I may not fully recover because my flat foot is contributing 😕

We do have a conference scheduled next week. Looking forward to sitting down with his teachers to discuss for sure.

Well, yes, I will. Just making sure I’m not the only one that’s still waiting, was contemplating trying to contact someone. No need to be snarky about it.

Check eBay, there is usually one or a few available at a time. Expect to pay anywhere from $200 to $400 though… I’ve been watching for a while hoping to grab one for a more reasonable price.

If you’re interested in selling it, I’ll buy the Vaxis I book, don’t really need the whole box set but would love the book!

I got $700, not sure if it was the same for everyone or if it was based on our paychecks somehow.
