re-occurring foot?
Hopefully this is in the guidelines of this forum. While serving (11B), I fractured a few metatarples in my right foot on a training mission. The Bn. Medic ( who happened to be SF qualified) assessed this and sent me to Yongson to get it put in a cast. Fine and dandy. That was almost 5 years ago and it is beginning to present problems again. After being on my feet for the average working day, it begins to pop and feels as if it is grinding. The civilian orthopedic physician (covered by my "wonderful" insurance provider) told me he thought it was fine and said to try boot inserts. Tried them and the feeling persisted. Went back and he said that was all he knew to do. Go figure. As seeing you guys deal with soldiers on a constant (I guess due to the fact that soldiers are on their feet and most of the time carrying heavy loads), I was wondering if there was any advice you may have. Any advice would be much apprecciated. Sorry if this post was not in the guidelines set. Thank you again.
