Hi, Mike (@mikem75)

Something in your post caught my attention. It was when you said, "ran 29 to 68 yrs." I'm guessing you were telling us you were a pretty dedicated runner from age 29 to age 68." If that's so, you and I have something in common. I, too, was a big-time runner from my late 20s to my late 60s, when I, too, had a total knee replacement. (I'm 79 now). My friends told me that bicycling would be an adequate substitute for running. I tried. I gave cycling my all. Cycling, while fun, was no substitute for running.. When today I give thought to the various enjoyments my neuropathy has taken away from me, running tops the list.

I wish you the very best in finding a quick solution to your foot pain!

Cheers!

You are very fortunate. Like you I ran for years. I was able to ride for a while, but now my balance issues keep me from riding. I can only do a stationary bike. And walking is painful.
