So the podiatrist will come to my retirement village to treat my foot pain. $50 in CASH, no debit card or check!

Fortunately, I have some cash and can pay him on the spot.

The pain is bad when I wear my shoes (or any shoes) but not when I just wear bedroom slippers. And it's hard to get to the bank for cash. Plus, I don't really want to have a lot of cash lying around here.

It is really painful to walk in shoes. I wonder why the guy wants to INFLICT pain!

1. keep your feet elevated

Do this as much as you can and have a pillow under them at night.

Neuropathy in the feet is so painful!

Take care CTyankee!

2. The thing is, it only hurts when I wear shoes so I don't need remedies other than just not wearing shoes.

3. I wear Birkenstocks

I found some old ones on ebay for $35.00 that were never worn.

They lace up and are called "Memphis". They are kind of ugly but they help to keep me moving on my feet.

Try different brands if you can afford it.

Best of luck obtaining less painful feet!

4. Be SURE to get a receipt!

A podiatrist demanding cash sounds extremely suspicious to me....

5. That is suspicious!

is right!

I was going to a podiatrist for this problem.

He sanded the soles off of my feet and the pain was worse.

Some of these "doctors" ...

6. Try Amazon for "barefoot shoes".
