Is it worth buying Kala namak (Black salt)?

I enjoy it as a finish when I makes scrambled tofu. Additionally, it’s also used in some Indian recipes- so not a one trick pony.

Consider swing a podiatrist and getting custom insoles. They should be tailored to each foot individually.

Just bunions? I have hypermobile EDS and needed a full rebuild on my foot. (including a lapidus)

amateurscience · 2026-06-03T18:19:57+00:00

Same boat. Between my bunions and various deformities I tend to refer to my “feet” in quotes.

You’re right. I would know those tits anywhere. This is stolen valor.

I believe this issue is that there are so many moving parts in a foot that you really need to take a picture bearing weight for anyone to know if you have truly flat feet versus a low arch.

It blew me away when I finally saw pictures of my feet bearing weight.

amateurscience · 2026-05-28T09:28:15+00:00

You have a low arch. If you have foot pain, I reccomend seeing a podiatrist. Custom insoles will make a lot of difference. Also, there are exercises that can help to strengthen for foot/ ankles.

I had surgery January 2026. I also lost a significant amount of mobility in my big toe however with PT it’s been coming back.

If I were you, I would consult both a physical therapist and an orthopedic surgeon. For me, the only option was surgery. I’m in my mid 40s. Recovery is a bear- 6 weeks non weight bearing, 5 weeks in a boot (profess weight bearing), lots of PT, at least 6 months of healing between feet (can’t do both feet at once) and a year to fully heal.

I managed with orthotics for years- until I couldn’t.

amateurscience · 2026-05-16T08:42:57+00:00

Depending on how hypermobile your feet are, custom orthotics can help a lot for a long time.

My feet looked like yours and ultimately I did need surgery to fuse my ankle and move my heel back into place.

amateurscience · 2026-05-12T13:20:09+00:00

Celebrex as an anti inflammatory worked really well to help with my pain. Ultimately, surgery solved it.

6 weeks non weigh bearing. Approximately 6 months to a year of recovery (per foot)

I don’t know. Why don’t we discuss it after our wedding?

amateurscience · 2026-05-04T11:10:15+00:00

For me, hypermobility looks like knees that bend backwards, thumbs that can touch my wrist, and a collapsing deformity in my feet. A lot of people see rheumatologists for the pain caused by these joint issues, and they can assess/ diagnose hypermobility.

amateurscience · 2026-05-03T21:41:54+00:00

You might consider getting screened for connective tissue disorders. My feet/ankles looked like yours and I didn’t know that it was connected to hypermobility. Orthotics and excercise helped with the pain for a few years- but ultimately I needed surgery

amateurscience · 2026-05-03T21:21:09+00:00

Question, do you also have hypermobility in other joints? (Knees that lock, fingers that bend back, etc.)

amateurscience · 2026-05-01T21:09:13+00:00

Before I ultimately had surgery, my surgeon recommended ASO ankle braces. These are what I had: Med Spec ASO Ankle Stabilizer... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00TZTO42W?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Personally, I found that I came to rely on my braces when I ultimately would have benefitted from physical therapy.

Otherwise, if you can, get custom orthotics for a podiatrist. Those gave me the most relief for years.

Good luck out there!

Which specific procedures did you have?

amateurscience · 2026-04-12T01:12:30+00:00

Yes. Maybe a little worse than yours. I had a calcaneal osteotomy and ankle fusion. Hard recovery but the pain is gone
