People, please don't shoot me for this post....

It is totally related to building kayaks because at this point in time I can't build anything!!!!!!

I'm at my wits end about this. Also, there are some very smart people on this forum and I'm wondering if anyone can help me???????

I have what has been called chronic metatarsalgia. Translates into really sore feet at the base of the toes. Been an ongoing problem for years but has to come to the point that I can barely walk. Putting forward pressure on the feet to stand at a table saw or strong back is totally out of the question. Therefore, no boat building....!!!!

The last doc I saw said to take Aleve, soak my feet in hot water and live with it.... My friends tell me to "run the hose" (carbon monoxide poisoning...)

Really sorry for this off topic post but on the other hand I don't care either.... I'm desperate for help and hoping someone on this site can direct me to a clinic or someone who can help.

Thanks,
Bill
