Hey Buggs, almost as much fun as an impacted tooth! Rethink your footwear. I had certain shoes and boots that could aggravate the pain. Have since changed out to mostly New Balance and/or Dunham. Search for models for PF condition. In sneakers, always opt for running shoes as they offer more cushion / support. Around the house I wear Crocs, never go barefoot. Orthotics can help too, but the NEW shoes and boots helped me the most. You may need to replace your footwear more often to maintain good support and heel cushion, usually before the soles wear out. Last year I bought a few pair of MBT shoes; basically no heel so the point of impact is near the arch or forward of the heel. Takes a few steps to get used to the rocker sole.
