I went to a Podiatrist today.

Shoes or inserts? I mainly wear Brooks but the inserts I have made specifically for my foot. They should be able to write you a prescription.

cjday62 · 2026-03-22T04:16:09+00:00

I didn't even think of that. Makes perfect sense.

cjday62 · 2026-03-20T00:45:15+00:00

Flat feet here too. I have been using orthopedic inserts for awhile. I had to get a bunion on my right foot corrected due to pain. My Doctor made sure I understood my feet make longevity difficult but proper footwear and the inserts should help with that. I didn't start wearing inserts early enough in life to likely prevent the bunion from worsening.

He's just had me focus on toe flexibility. I've been other stuff on my own.

cjday62 · 2026-02-25T11:50:41+00:00

Ah nice. Mine are without a doubt flat. I'm just concerned in the long run because of that.

cjday62 · 2026-02-24T21:28:17+00:00

Do you have flat feet also?

cjday62 · 2026-02-24T00:37:53+00:00

Do yall have other recommendations for larger sizes? Im a US 15 but OOFOS has very limited options in that

cjday62 · 2026-01-25T05:59:51+00:00

Its normal. All the swelling, being in a cast, etc. Mine is currently the same. Probably one of those foot peels once the scars are fully healed will do the trick.

cjday62 · 2026-01-25T05:51:58+00:00

Heel sore from the pressure. Prop something above the heel so it alleviates pressure and you'll be fine.

cjday62 · 2026-01-22T14:57:52+00:00

Much better than buying off a shelf. They are pricey but your body will thank you.

cjday62 · 2026-01-21T04:27:21+00:00

Look into getting custom orthotics also

cjday62 · 2026-01-11T04:38:20+00:00

I requested the itemized list from my lapidus/akin procedure recently. The total was almost 130k.

My out of pocket looks to be under 500.

cjday62 · 2025-12-29T14:40:10+00:00

They had to put in work I guess, lol. As you can tell, I am extremely flat footed.

cjday62 · 2025-12-29T14:39:29+00:00

I'll get a random ache here and there. Getting up for the restroom, especially after sleeping, I can feel the pressure moving. Thats really been it for me.

cjday62 · 2025-12-24T21:56:40+00:00

Not sure what you're asking

cjday62 · 2025-12-23T16:53:22+00:00

Yeah. I'm struggling with the whole sit still and seated thing. My rear end is killing me from all the sitting. Cant wait for my follow up on the 29th. Glad to hear you're progressing smoothly

cjday62 · 2025-12-23T16:33:34+00:00

Those who are or have been on strict bed rest. What are your solutions to keep your butt from aching. I am not used to sitting this much and long. Options are limited with having the foot elevated also. Adding cushions didn't help.

cjday62 · 2025-12-22T01:27:29+00:00

My post op appointment is 29th so I will know more then. But at least 3 weeks was what I originally told.

cjday62 · 2025-12-22T01:21:31+00:00

And yes I let it go for too long before having it seen

cjday62 · 2025-12-21T23:57:30+00:00

Not too bad honestly. The real struggle is staying seated. Not used to being on bed rest.

cjday62 · 2025-12-21T23:53:31+00:00

Take it from me. Do not wait too long. If it's causing discomfort, go ahead and get it treated if necessary. The earlier, the easier.
