[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2409363, member: 372717"] I agree, don't see how she could possibly know over the phone, but structural issues are common as we get older (for non diabetics as well) and a good podiatrist can give you exercises and orthotic insoles. I wouldn't necessarily assume neuropathy. Maybe see a private podiatrist who does insoles as well as diabetic stuff? (I'm in New Zealand where the hospital foot checks are pretty perfunctory so lived with the 4 month wait to see a podiatrist privately when I started to have foot pain - though mine is structural (GP said plantar fasciitis and podiatrist said something similar but more complicated whose name I can't remember) and has been pretty well cured by orthotics in my boots and a particular style of sandal for inside the house. My podiatrist sent me to a specialist shoe shop and told me exactly what style of boot and sandal to buy, While you are waiting to see a podiatrist maybe look and see if you can find a local shoe shop that specialises in injured feet and see if they have any suggestions??? (That's assuming you are near a city.) Good luck. [/QUOTE]
