Could be related to the swelling in your wrist? ;)


That's what I was thinking-- it wasn't swelling, just that the right arm
was freakishly better exercised than the left.

Pin this down, Pirate. My dad was having leg edema problems that the docs
couldn't get on top of. He ended up trying some herbal remedy that he
really thinks worked quite well for him (and he was a pharmacists for his
whole career). I think it might have been dandelion, but I'm not sure.
Ping me if you want me to find out.

If you do go the herbal route, be sure to let your doc know about it.

You got anything for incessantly sore feet--tarsal tunnel syndrome, Plantar
Fasciitis, Neuropathy.
I can hardly walk some days. Ankles hurt so bad that they won't support my
massive weight.

Have neuropathy in both feet up beyong the ankles. I take neurotin, a
drug that was originally used for seizures, but works well for nerve
pain. If I do not take it regularly, the pain is similar to what you
would experience if you stepped on a lit cigarette.

Um, how do you know what it feels like to step on a lit cigarette?

It happened twice to me. Once as a teenager on the beach at Westerly
RI, and again about 20 years ago, at the same beach.

And, yes, it hurts like hell.

I had plantar fascitis. After 3 years of it I tried wearing crocs. Got
rid of it in four weeks. Crocs have been the foot problem solution for
a lot of people I know. $29 bucks. It works for many, not all.

I think I had a bout of it a couple years back, brought on by lots of
walking in a bad pair of shoes. What worked for me was changing my
sleep habits so that my feet weren't pointed out all night. Get them
at a 90-degree angle from your legs and it really helps. I never tried
those funny looking boot thingies, but if I had too I would. On the
bad days I'd wear elastic arch bands, and those helped too.

Yes, ditto on getting the feet at 90 degrees . . . hanging over end of
bed works. It helps lots.

Right you are. There's a recent re-issue of his Stars and Stripes
cartoons. As close to combat soldiers as he was, Mauldin's stuff never
reflected hate for the average German slogger, except Willi and Joe
did consider it an atrocity when the Jerrys in retreat destroyed
perfecrtly good wine. :-))
