I remember a few people using this term when I mentioned foot pain. At the time, I didn't know what it was, but I was searching on the net about arch pain and...

I am sorry that you understand, sorry that many others here do too but it does help to know you aren't crazy and it is real. You are right, acceptance is key...

It may be illegal, but mine came in a padded envelope and was clearly a bottle if you felt it. If they're looking for Rx-smugglers, they sure overlooked my...
As I understand it, CP (or at least using the "new wave" definition of CP) is a subset of PFPS or PFS. So you can conceivably have PFPS without having CP. But...
