    Mortons Neuroma - Attack #1

    chinook how do they deny something like that? i had mine removed , i know how painful it is and how you cant walk when it flares up. is it because podiatry is not covered, if a ortho doctor did it would that work? you can always appeal to the nys insurance board if you think it is your...

    Mortons Neuroma - Attack #1

    Chinook can you appeal the no answer on the neuroma insurance? it may be worth it since it will probably get worse. also look into that freezing of the nerve , should be a lot cheaper. i wonder if your podiatrist preferred keens over Birkenstock due to flexibility of keen? Birkenstock have a...

    Avalanche Trap Dyke

    yes definitely, i see that now . i haven't been up there in years, just trying to understand how the snow fell. Never realized the possibility of that size of a avalanche there, seeing is believing.

    Avalanche Trap Dyke

    Mortons Neuroma - Attack #1

    i had two Morton neuromas removes from one foot a bunch of years ago. it got to the point where i couldn't even walk . anything compressing your toes will aggravate it. Birkenstock is the only hiking boot i have found with a real wide toe box

    Another aspect of being prepared for Winter

    did something freeze and burst in your trunk?

    Ooh, that looks painful. Can you walk on it?

    if you have to walk out on a lower leg injury, your going to wish you packed your leftover narcotic painkillers.
