Depression and Anxiety at an older age

I feel for you. I am 65 and have severe arthritis and plantar fasciitis in both feet. I tried everything and they still hurt terribly. I can barely walk or stand anymore. I tried orthopedic custom made inserts and good feet inserts but helped for awhile and then pain again. I wish something could help your bunions. My friend uses bunion covers on his feet to help. I also have IBS and terrible Incontinence. I started taking probiotics for the IBS which seems to help. I also started Azo for the incontinence.

Idon't if you are familiar with the Orthfoot brand but last year I bought what was a new innovation biofit shoes they accommodate custom orthotics and ha three adjustments for plantar fasciitis and diabetic feet. They look like fancy athletic shoes. On each side at the top of the laces is a piece that allows the shoe to expand to insert foot with out pain and a strap at the back is Velcro and allows the heel to expand also. I have arthritis and multiple structural repairs besides hammertoes etc. I've been wearing them for over a year. My only complaint their is no sandal version for this extreme heat . I paid $130. Medicare only pays for orthopedic shoes if you have diabetes. I don't and I've paid alot more. I'm going to check out if the place that made my orthotics is still in business. Way less. .Hope this info is of use to you
