While updating this blog I read a few of my "foot injury" posts from 2012. I want to give a quick update. My foot still hurts! It will most likely be this way for the rest of my life - I've accepted that. I will never buy Reebok shoes again! If you don't know, Reebok had a line of workout shoes called "Easy Tone" which had toning balls at the bottom. There was a lawsuit because people were getting injured because instead of rocking the foot forward like a rocking chair, people's feet, legs and hips were rolling left to right - as did my foot. I don't know what happened with the lawsuit (I think I was to late to join in?). All I know is they gave me my $60 back for the stupid shoes. Not much for a life long injury.
When the weather changes my foot begins to hurt, if I do lunges my foot begins to hurt, if I wear high heels my foot begins to hurt. There is nothing I can do about it. Just last week I had to skip four or fives days worth of workouts because my foot felt like a knife was stabbing the injured spot.
Most days I'm okay, but it will never be the same. If I sit wrong my foot hurts, if something puts to much pressure on it then it hurts again. Honestly, I'm a silent sufferer and my family doesn't hear much about it unless they ask. It's become part of my normal life and I don't think much of it. Anyway, for memory sake, that's the update. :-)
