Yes, I went to a podiatrist. No, I do not have a nasty disease under my toenails, nor do I have massive corns, but my brother(sorry Daniel) just found out he has arthritis in his big toe, so I thought I should have a checkup for my feet. Such a nice guy! He was incredibly thorough. I told him I am a nurse(or at least a nurse looking for a job) and let him know that usually about after eight hours of standing up I start to get pains going up my legs into my back. He put pressure on different areas of my foot, watched me walk, and concluded that my arches drop a bit when I am walking, which could be the reason for my pain. He gave me some bright green inserts and sent me on my way. Dr. Jensen also gave me some handy tips for buying shoes. You will just have to check him out for those, since I really can’t explain how to perform these handy tests on shoes before you buy them. Lastly, the x-ray tech is a hoot! I was giggling the whole time he was taking pictures of my feet.
