Health update

Published by Nathan Powell on January 19, 2008 07:17 pm under running

Since I haven’t really mentioned on my blog how my hip and feet are doing, I figured I would whip out a quick post to update those who may care.

The orthotics have worked a minor miracle. I really can’t believe it actually. My hip doesn’t hurt at all. If you had hip pain and someone just walked up and said “Here put this in your shoe” you would think they were crazy.

I have to give mad props to Sean (I think that was his name) in the PT department at Orthopedic Associates of Lancaster. He didn’t hesitate when he saw me stand. There was not doubt to him that I needed orthotics. He saved my running. I am all better (at least I think so :))

As for the chaffing in my arches, I wore synthetic socks and put body glide on my arches. That worked fine. No problems at all.

    Cool… glide it is. Did it still move around a bit?
