I've had my foot orthotics for two weeks now and my heel has improved slightly, but not as much as I'd hoped. I don't have sharp pains much any more, but still have the dull pain sometimes. The extra support near my heel felt nice at first and now I'm sort of used to it. In fact it might hurt my feet a little bit, but I guess it just takes getting used to.

The week after I got them, I wore my work shoes while at work with my old mediocre support from Foot Solutions in it. My new orthotics won't fit in my work shoes. My heel continued to hurt even though I would wear my athletic shoes whenever I wasn't at work. So this week, I decided to just wear my athletic shoes all the time, even at work. Nobody asked me why I wasn't wearing my nice work shoes, so I guess no one had a problem with it. I just looked kind of silly wearing my work pants with athletic shoes, but whatever helps my heel get better is what I'll do.

I'm still stretching and wearing my foot splint every night, which is getting old. I have a follow-up appointment in a few weeks, so we'll see how I feel then.
