For the past five weeks I've had varying degrees of pain in both of my feet. The problem started in both feet on the same day. First a tingling sensation. Followed quickly by a slight numbness. Then flat out pain in my toes and on the pads. Enough for me to take some medication..which I never do.
About a week later as I finished soaking my tender tootsies, trying to get some relief, I notice something very odd. My toes have separated! On both feet. Instantly I know the culprit for my sore feet...flip flops!
I had gone away for a few days and only brought the cursed flip flops with me so I wore them all the time. We went walking, to the beach, the park and around the mall. Apparently I was concentrating too hard on keeping them on my feet. Big mistake.
Once I realized the problem things have gotten much better. I'm wearing shoes all the time now. Proper ones I should add. Massaging them together has helped lots too. I can't believe the amount of pain associated with three days of bad sandals.
I may not be twenty any more but I'm still not as old as my feet!
