Last letter we talked about stretching and botox for the heel pain of plantar fasciitis.  Turns out shoe inserts like the Bauerfeind Visco-Heel and the Tuli Heel Cup, available on www.Amazon.com , are another inexpensive but effective answer for this painful condition. You may need sneakers, boots, or tie-shoes about a half size bigger to wear the inserts.  Is there anything LESS sexy than bunions?  Amazon also has a flexible $60 splint to be worn in shoes and a rigid one to be worn at night; both can delay or end the need for bunion surgery.
