I am 29 years old. 6’2” 160lbs. I’m a clerk at USPS so I stand and walk all day at my job. I play sports on the weekends. I have a mid arch I’d say. I’ve had no problems with my feet until the worst day of my life which happened 4 months ago. When I first got my job at the post office, my grandpa took me to sketchers in celebration and got me work shoes & insoles. The insoles didn’t work very well so I just kept using the shoes without the new balance high arch insoles. (I have always been told by people around me “you have a high arch” which in fact like I said, I probably have a medium one). Eventually upgraded to hoka one ones cuz I heard nurses use them. Used those for 4 years straight, awesome shoes. After my 3rd pair or so I didn’t wanna spend the money for new ones so I found the insoles I was talking about earlier in the closet and was like what the heck I’ll try these out for the day maybe I can prolong my shoes save $. Worst decision of my life. I wore those insoles for 1 day and it destroyed my feet. I went from 10k steps a day standing and walking all day to playing sports after work, no problems at all, to can’t stand for more than 5 minutes without burning, tingly sensations in my fascia and heel flowing up to my knees and thighs. Thankfully my Birkenstock Arizona’s are tolerable to get me through the day but I have to sit most of the day, I got a doctors note so I don’t have to go on sick leave or quit. Went to the Kaiser doctor, then a specialist, another specialist, got custom insoles, made my feet worse. It’s been 4 months and very minimal recovery. Doing physical therapy at my house because I don’t have time to go to clinics that basically do the same thing. I dont have severe pain in the morning like plantar fasciitis, the pain gets worse throughout the day, I may have both pf and baxters nerve entrapment or something along those lines hopefully not as serious. It’s crazy that one day in high arch insoles did this much damage to my feet. It’s almost unbelievable. My life changed overnight. I got x rays done, no heal spurs, got an MRI done and conclusion was “Mild Plantar Fasciitis”. But mild seems pretty interesting because I can’t stand more than 10-20 minutes without feeling burning and tingling. The day I wore those high arch insoles I wore them for about 7 hours and 2-3 of those hours standing so maybe I pinched a nerve. Before my MRI the doctor obviously suggested custom insoles. 700 bucks 200 with insurance and they made my feet worse. Adjusted them a dozen times no relief. I don’t have diabetes and my blood work is pretty healthy. It’s just so hard to believe one day in those insoles hurt so bad and did this damage. I will say I didn’t realize how serious it was until weeks in. I did go to a wedding that same week and jumped around a bit. The following week played one basketball game. But other than that I have been diligent to not cause flare ups and not walk over 8k steps a day and not stand more than 15 minutes at a time. No matter how good I do, I’m always in tingles after walking.

Has anyone ever had this happen to them? What was your recovery like? How long? What was your diagnosis? Did nerve gliding help?

Hey guys my brother and I used to do high rounds on the old black ops games & are getting the ports and wanting to do the Easter eggs 🥚 We never used to do them we would only grind for high rounds is anyone willing to help us do them on black ops 1 and 2? I understand if you don’t want to cuz you’d be carrying a bit lol (we don’t suck we just don’t know how to do the Easter eggs and need 2 extra people on some of the Easter eggs due to 4 player minimum)

If you’re interested add me on PlayStation!
