Can I wear an orthotic insole in one shoe?
One foot is fine, and the other is not. I'm concerned that if I wear orthotics/ custom insoles in both shoes that it will have side effects and be bad for my good foot, or vice versa. Does anyone here only wear one orthotic? Any suggestions?Asked a year ago

Can wearing orthotics cause knee pain?
Still nursing my stress fracture, it’s getting better. Podiatrist suggested I walk on it, and the discomfort I feel is residual soft tissue pain, since the fracture shows fully healed. However, since wearing inserts for the last month I’ve developed some pretty serious knee pain. I’m waiting now to see a knee specialist, but not sure what to do right now with my feet. Is it possible the orthotics are causing this or gait changes?Asked 2 years ago

Hi, I have a tailor's bunion that I need to get rid of, but I refuse to go in for surgery. There must be another way to shrink it. I hope there's a massage technique, especially for bunions, or a home treatment like exercises or something along that line. Asked a year ago
