Would not be able to function without my custom made orthotics, done on the NHS so lucky to have an orthotics guy who sees the disease as a professional challenge

Drs are often under the misapprehension that it is a painless disease, unless in a proliferation phase. But they can grow and shrink daily and can be really painful at any time.
My partner is a.massage therapist so I get regular massage treatments on the foot, ankle and legs, just not where the nodules are.Keeps the deferred ankle, knee and hip pain under control
