I go see my dr in 2 weeks and I was going to have him refer me to a podiatrist to get my feet looked at. When I saw the dr. a few months ago I told him I needed a scrip for orthotics because I have flat feet and I'd like to start walking more. I didn't have the aches and pains at that point. He gave me the scrip, no questions asked. Right now if I walk at a regular pace for more than 30 minutes I get blisters between my toes and my back just aches. The back aches I used to attribute to big boobs and bad posture. lol
Should I bother waiting for the referral appointment (which could be in a few weeks or months) or just go ahead and get the orthotics? Jim got some money that he's insisting he keep to get his eyes done but I think orthotics and new glasses are more important. Besides, he thinks he can get his eyes done for $2000 and I know it's not possible.
Is it worth the wait?
