Yesterday, a woman came from four hours away to see me for foot pain that she's had for 5 months. As a runner, I always like anything related to sports medicine. While here, I did a quick exam and looked over the X-Rays I had ordered beforehand. Then I saw her shoes. I have never seen harder soles than the shoes she was wearing. It was as if she had taped a hockey puck to her heel and was walking on it. I recommended changing her shoes. I looked at her feet and thought they looked like they were the same size as a pair of shoes that Sarah had outgrown. I found them in the 'shoe box' and put them on. The patient took two steps and said, "My feet don't hurt anymore!"
