Foot Pain - FYI

Yeah, I've got this foot pain.

My doctor says it's got nothing to do with the Haglund's Deformity that my other doctor diagnosed from a whack of X-rays before I moved; this doctor held my foot in what must be highly-sensitive hands and diagnosed that my ankle "just isn't as limber as it should be, that's all."

Well, of course! There's a shitload of bone growing in the way of its motion.

I get black bruises on the tops of my feet if I am kneeling, something that's new from the last 5 years. I also have really bad plantar fasciitis, something my old doc figured was related but my new doc thinks is also just a Bad Shoes problem.

Well, this diagnosis means that I don't get to have any corrective surgery, and I'm sure someone will get a fat bonus cheque for that cost-savings. I wish to thank my premier, Gordon Campbell, for making our famous health-care system into an embarrassment of a two-tiered bureaucracy worse than the Brits could ever fear, in less than two terms. Ass.

So a new pair of shoes will magically cure it all, and any subsequent reference to foot pain should be taken as mere fantasy on my part.
