Thank you everyone not only for the advice, but the sympathy. I really appreciate the kind thoughts.
sq225917, I will look up keesovertoes guy.
Yank, I did have one spell where things improved, and when I looked back through my activity monitor I did do less footwork that month and the month previous. I had already reduced my walking, but I will see how far I can go with this.
Funk,based on the responses on this post I have upped the amount of foot roller time each day. I hit the foot twice per day now for about 10 minutes each time. A question to all who have had success with the roller, how much time per day and how many sessions per day worked for you?
poppop, once i get to see the musculoskeletal clinic staff I am going to ask about shockwave therapy, it seems like it might be a solution.
