No normal shoes

[cjsmith]

Today I grabbed the shoes I'd worn to surgery and brought them to work with me. I figured while I was sitting at my desk waiting for a long test run I'd see what it felt like to put them on.

There is no way I can get into them. My mind boggles. It's hard to imagine how these feet ever got into those shoes. I've unlaced the left shoe all the way down and it is quite simply too narrow.

*sigh*

Swelling?

Like mactavish said, it could be the ligament. It could be you're not sufficiently healed enough to have shoes on yet.

Feet take a lot of strain and stress from walking around on them. They take a long time to heal. My heel spurs took over a year to heal. I tried cortisone ONCE and that nearly made me pee my pants it hurt so bad, then everything in my foot just felt WRONG and like I was still damaging things until the cortisone wore off. I refused to have surgery (my mom had it done and it hasn't helped her at all in the long run). I wore inserts in my shoes for a very long time.

Give yourself more time.

yikes! here's hoping another week or so of healing will make it easier.

(i think my mom had to get new/bigger shoes after her foot surgery (to fix bunions, hammertoes, and um, something else). and i think she was advised to go to a real shoe store and get her feet measured for accuracy and proper fit. might be worth it when you're ready?)
