I have recently invested some money in the GOOD FEET arch supports.
A friend of mine has a store nearby, and talked me into buying them.
He had a sciatic nerve problem about a year or so ago, and he swore
that after he started wearing the arch supports, he has never felt
better. Now, let me repeat - he is a very good friend, and he
wouldn't lie to me or try to talk me into buying them just for the
money. I don't know if I'm getting my hopes up, or what, but the
last two days, I've not needed my pain medication as often, and so
far today, I haven't taken anything. It's 10:30 in the morning, and
the mornings are usually the worst. I'm feeling the pain, but not
like I usually do, and it's tolerable enough to not take the
medication. I don't want to keep taking this stuff that has so many
possible side effects and might eventually cause me to have other
medical problems (with my stomach or whatever). Six months ago I
would have never considered spending that much money on something
such as this, but I'm desparate now, and told him I didn't care what
it costs me, I'll put it on the credit card if I have to. It's been
about 2 to 3 weeks since I've started wearing them. He told me that
one of the chiropractors here in town (one with a great reputation, I
might add) wears them, and has even called upon them to come by his
office to fit two of his patients. I don't know if I can claim them
on my taxes as medical expenses, but I'm going to try. I wish my
insurance would have paid for them. They do have a website, but I
don't know what the web address is. They shouldn't be too hard to
find on the internet, though, if anyone is interested in looking them
up. I just saw one of their 1/2 hour long infomercials on TV the
other day for the first time. And like I said earlier in this
posting, this may be wishful thinking, but really, I have felt better
the last couple of days.
