Oh, the bad pain I have isn't the feet. It's the herniated nerves in the belly. The feet were never anywhere near as bad as the abdominal pain -- they were just *fixable*, so I went ahead and got them fixed. :-) My feet are pretty inflamed now, producing a level of pain I'd call an "annoyance". That's expected to subside in the next few weeks. Then I can tell whether the treatment was successful.
