[captainbovine]

they look like they have a platform sole to them, but they are supposed to be really comfy.

anyone got a comment about them please?

Don't give in! I have painful feet but there is NO way I would wear them! Mine is Mortons something. When mine are bad I wear uggs.

[captainbovine]

dont' give in?:^O some days I can't put one foot in front of the other the pain is so bad.

I thought uggs were just boots?

[huggles1253]

They do do some 'shoes' but I think you would look like you were wearing slippers....and you would be.really. Everyone I see walking in crocs looks like a duck with piles. 😞

Do you know what causes the pain Cap'n?

I have painful feet, thought I had bunions - & discovered it is gout.  I take Allopurinol daily & it reduces the symptoms mightily

My Mum could hardly walk for pain once she was nearing eighty.  I always said that she should investigate why, but she wouldn't.  She just said that her father had suffered with his feet & so therefore did she

Well, I blimmin' well wasn't going to, genetic or not!!

When I get my new hip I'm supposed to walk.  Build it up gradually until I'm walking three miles a day.  How???   I could hardly walk around the supermarket before I had a bad hip, why should it change after the op??

I am living in my crocs now as otherwise the pain is too bad.

:^O........now that image of a duck with piles will stay with me for ages 😐 :^O

I feel like Cinderella and have done all my life..............my hooves are hoooooge, size 9 and in an EEE fitting.................nothing I like ever fits me :_|

I ordered a lovely pair of red sandals a couple of weeks ago, my exact size and I couldn't get the blooming strap done up across the top of my hoof :_|

So they went back.......now I'm back to the drawing board, I've been told by diabetic nurse that I shouldn't be wearing flip flops, which is normally what I live in throughout the Summer. Well the rate I'm going it's just going to have to be flip flops!!!

I may be being thick here, but I really don't see a lot of difference, in damage to feet terms, in wearing flip flops or sandals ?:| Sandals are still very open, and let's face it, if I drop a flipping brick or a garden tool on my foot, Sandals or no Sandals, damage is going to be done!!

Oh NOOOOOOOOO.............not only have I now got an image of a duck with piles in my head, I've now got one of a cooooo wearing flip flops 😐 :^O

[merc1_clocks]

the problem is that  if there is damage to the extremities and you are diabetic the chance that gangrene sets in and they need to  operate to remove toes etc  is a lot higher

a guy we see occasionally  was with  sticks and a heavily  bandaged foot a 2 years back

he was telling us  he had dropped something  on his foot and after 3 wks went to the docs who sent him to hossie as they needed to remove his toes

he didnt know he was diabetic until then  and that in leaving the injury til it was too late for anyone to  help

[captainbovine]

Moosie, you've got the same size hooves as me!!! and I'm diabetic too. It's a nightmare getting shoes, I've made my mind up now, I'm going to get a pair of these for my birthday.

Maggie, I too live in my crocs in the house etc. they do make a difference, so I may walk 10 to 2 as they say but they're comfy.

I walked into the village and back today and I ended up having to use a crutch to help my sore hoof when we went out to the garden centre:-( I was in agony. this isn't funny....all that op and still hurting.....:_|

[chickengrandma-2008]

Have you been back and told them it's no better capt?  Perhaps there's something they can do.

Blimey, I hope my hip gets better after all this.:O

[captainbovine]

yus, they've written to the consultant to ask for advice, I may have to have the injection like Maggie.

funny thing is, the op he did has been a success i.e. I can step off the step and not get any pain in my ankle, that part of the pain has gone but been replaced with a chronic pain in my heel and down the sides of my foot:-(

so I'm waiting to see what the consultant suggests.

no, I'm sure your hip will be a success, you'll be chasing Lottie about soon after. You'll be fine, wait and see:-x
