Had a chat with a #Podiatrist today - the next step that was reccommended to me in dealing with my #ChronicPain from #CTEV - and they have suggested that I start with custom made insoles.
Will see how those go, but she did say that I may have to get custom made shoes, as my feet are super odd (wider than they are long, higher arch on one side, random numb patches in several places on my soles .. etc)
I just want to be able to take a walk for longer than 15 minutes, and not have it lead to days and days of stiffness and pain. If the insoles can do that, maybe I can put off having to get the expensive custom shoes.

#today I am getting frustrated with my ankles and the #ChronicPain in them.
Sitting hurts, standing hurts, even swimming the other day caused more pain.
But I am still grateful that even though I was born with acute congenital bilateral talipes equinovarus I was lucky enough to have been born in a place where it was addressed quickly and I was able move forward in life walking relatively normally.
The constant pains in my ankles and legs are annoying, but I've dealt with it for 45 years, so I'll just keep keeping on.
