Rich,
Thank you again for lifting my spirits today. Honestly can’t express in words how much the appointment meant to me.
AND - I forgot to tell you! You fixed my mother-in-law’s foot! Basically she was having heel pain that she had labeled plantar fasciitis. I hadn’t seen her in a while, and wasn’t sure if that was the right dx. So, I sent her one of your plantar fasciitis summary pages from the blog (it has a video of you doing a heel pain exam/eval), and this is what I got back a few days ago:

“Thank you so much for sending me that video. I watched it and decided I didn't have the typical symptoms of plantar fasciitis. I pushed at the places he pointed out and the pain was wrong. I saw my physician today. She decided that it was not plantar fasciitis but a thickening of the skin on the heel. In one spot because of a wart and in the other spot probably some foreign object. She scraped and scraped and miracle of miracles----no more pain. I can't believe it! I have been off my feet for almost two months eschewing hiking and walking. I gained more weight. I feel like a fool not to have researched it myself or at least made an appointment much earlier.“
Amazing!
