Thanks for this -- but what kind.of a walk in clinic? I've been to see a number of podiatrists and general physicians as well as my rheumatologist and none of them ever steered me toward EM - it's as if it wasn't even an option that they considered. But whenever its hot out and I'm walking a lot I develop these incredibly painful hot inflammatory red areas on the sides of my heels. Very painful -- and I'm in good shape: 5’7” and 124 pounds and a runner who weight trains and eats a plant based diet. I do think it's gotten better as I've phased out animal.products.
