Thanks for the comments! Just so ya know, I...Hey! Thanks for the comments! Just so ya know, I read your blog every day I get near internet (often several times a day) I just don't always comment, cause I don't really have anything constructive to contribute usually :-) Just know that I've been there :-)<br /><br />So. My foot. I have had several people say they have had heel spurs and that they went away. There are several courses of treatment, such as orthotics, exercises, and stuff like that. However, when I spoke to the surgeon, he said that my spur was actually growing at the base of my Achilles tendon just to the left, and the actual spur was interfering with the tendon. So he had to lift the tendon and scrape away some bone. He said that as I had had it for a year with no improvement, it was never going to get better. The actual tendon was also experiencing micro tears, from wear and tear (cause I've been fat all my life too). So the best option was surgery. However, the one I have under my heel, which shows up nicely on the xray, does not bother me (unless that's what is giving me holy hell now, but I don't think so). I am not going to do anything with it at all unless I REALLY need to.<br /><br />I chose surgery for this other one as the pain was quite unbearable sometimes (comes and goes) and it was not going to improve.<br /><br />If you do, make sure you have a good support system in place because you literally can't put any weight on it for some time. So you need a walking frame, can't get in and out of the shower unless you have the frame, need a commode chair in the shower, and can't go to the toilet unless you can put the frame in front of you. You can't cook, can't even stand there and make a sandwich. And if you do manage that, you can't bring it to the table to eat it because your hands are occupied. And forget a nice cup of tea unless someone else brings it for you. <br /><br />So, if you have that (and you do with Bex and the rest of them) then consider it. Once you get the boot you can use it to balance and crutches become easier although the frame is still a good fall back for support. <br /><br />Research it very well, and try every other option first. And I am not sure what the other thing you mentioned is, I haven't heard of that. So I can't help with that one. But speak to your doctor, and go see the specialist the doc recommends. Then talk it out with the family and make sure you have the support system. At the end of the day it's got to be better than trying to live in pain. Mine is good when I'm not using my foot all the time. Each day starts fine but as I use the foot through the day it hurts more and more as the day goes on. I found the referral for the physio today so I think I'll make an app and go see them to see if that's what the problem is.<br /><br />And good luck! xxxColleen Barnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06501980104933362752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36007054.post-15048750176659000202013-04-29T15:48:44.475+12:002013-04-29T15:48:44.475+12:00Don't worry, Chris, I updated my blog finally ...Don't worry, Chris, I updated my blog finally and only have one comment :-)<br /><br />Like SOL, I laughed at the dog bone. She's right, our dad did call her Molly. Molly Duka. Don't know where that came from though, just something that was.<br /><br />I love the idea of runners and mug rugs. I use runners all the time. But I only own one hand made one, made my Khris (from Sew Prim Khris). I love it terribly! Maybe if I can ever find the time I'll have a go at making my own some day :-)<br /><br />xxColleen Barnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06501980104933362752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36007054.post-90391462419094060972013-04-29T15:13:08.728+12:002013-04-29T15:13:08.728+12:00Hi Chris, still reading every day just trying to w...Hi Chris, still reading every day just trying to work too!

It's usually a 'slider' on the front of the machine, between the tension knob, and the pictures of the stitches. Check that it is on it full speed. I had a friend who had had her machine for years before she noticed the slider and always complained about her machine going slow!
