sore feet

G'day,

All weight bearing exercise causes my feet to ache terribly afterwards.  Not right away. A few hours or the next morning. Both feet equally.

I am blaming it on a long standing issue with loose joints.  My awareness of this began when my hands would ache while doing massage work and when my ankles would feel like they are coming apart the minute I began to jog.  This started many years ago.

Any body have a similar experience or possible suggestions.

Thank you.

Don't use Dryer Sheets for underwear!

I am 40 years old and self-diagnosed with Vulvar Lichen Sclerosis.  A friend who had it was told by her specialist Dr. to stop using dryer sheets for her underwear--other than that no treatment!!  It took a while, but she is asymptomatic now.  I stopped using dryer sheets for undies about 3 weeks ago and already it is going away!!  How many women are suffering from not knowing this?  It makes me want to call every gyno in the phone book to tell them about it.  I have found nothing online about this remedy.  Other than this problem I have no significant health issues, I am blessed.  Hope this helps someone!  Amy
