Hey Im new hear but 2 years ago i finally went to an ortho to try and figure out what was causing my pain. Low and behold it was a tarsal coalition. At first we tried the injections and a walking boot on the foot with the worst one but it didnt end up helping. For a while i was able to ignore it since i was working in a mecanhic shop as the service manager the only times i needed to be on my feet was to help a customer put tires away or help one of the guys on what they where trying to fix. But after some manager change ups and lies being told about my work i was fired last year. I was out of work until just a couple weeks ago but the job i have now is 11hours on my feet standing walking and running around. This has obviosly caused me a tremendous amount of pain leading to my days off trying as hard as i can to stay off my feet and dreading going back to work. Does any one have any suggestions other than finding a new job(ive been trying but we all know the state of the job market) or getting the surgery(im not in the financial situation to be able to spend that large amount) any suggestions would help the pain has been getting worse and worse each workday and im at my wits end.
