"Sore Feet/Painful Feet."

This morning I spent about an hour and a half standing and walking. I made a conscious choice to spend my morning this way. As president of a children's organization at my Church, my desire is to be moving among the more than100 children in my care. For me, life with pachyonychia means choices. Even with the mobility of crutches, I must choose which things are worth wasting my feet on. Pain pills can mask the hurt to a degree for a time, but the damage done while standing or walking will be there once the medicine wears off. As a result of my choice this morning, now I feel sharp pain in my feet that radiates as an ache up my legs. This hurt will last for the rest of the day. Tonight, I will probably have a hard time falling asleep because of the pain. I'll most likely read until I'm too tired to care about what my feet feel like. In the morning, my feet will still hurt, but the pain will be different. Then my feet will feel "raw." However, by one or two in the afternoon, if I stay off my feet, the intense pain will subside and I'll have my regular sore feet back. If you have PC, do you make choices about sore feet/painful feet in order to accomplish the things important to you?
