Any of you know what that is? I do. Apparently I ruptured mine. It supports the arch. Without it, one is flatfooted. And it is painful.

cover your ears boys...

LOL....I do swear once in awhile.

That picture looks to be off the same website I did some research on.

My doctor wants to try the orthotics first. But that won't repair the tendon. I did this two years ago. HMO ins. wouldnt' allow me to see a podiatrist any sooner. That's part of my reason for swearing....that and the rest of my faimly blames my son....it was him I was running down (he was nine) when he tried to run away. I can't blame him.....oh well....life goes on. Thinking about the surgery.....anyone know anything on this?
