Short Run Today

I only did a 2 miler this morning because my right foot is really bothering me today.  I am becoming more and more suspicious that I have some arthritis going on there.  Some days it really bothers me (like today) and other days I'm not aware of it at all.  And it doesn't seem to make any difference at all whether I wear the new or old orthotics.  I've been wearing the old ones for days now and it's been fine until last night and again this morning.  But the orthotics don't seem to have any impact on it.  It just wants to "flare up" on occasion.  I have some arthritis in the pointer finger on my right hand according to my Doc.  And the foot acts just like that.  Doesn't bother for days and then does.  I won't be seeing a Doc now before our trip but will maybe go see the podiatrist when we come home.  In the meantime, I plan to live on Aleve 3 weeks from today!

Oh, I never even thought of arthritis as a possible culprit. But it makes sense. Do they have a way to diagnose that other than "Sounds like it!" It would be good to know, once and for all.

I love modern medicine. We're lucky.
