Oh,no! Not the feet again! I'm glad you're going to the doctor RIGHT AWAY! Take care, ET! Maybe the doc will have some ideas of why this is happening.

Absolutly get in right away! Relaps is always dangereous. Stay off those feet. Ask him the old shoes could be aggravating it. Doesn't seem likely cause with clean socks each day you wouldnt think germs would be an issue but you never know and better safe right?

Ask the doctor if you need to throw away the shoes. If it's infection-related then your shoes may still have the "bug". BTW, I am not a Dr but I did play a Dr (a psychiatrist specifically) on TV once -- true story! hahahaha

Oh my gosh, Mike. I'm sorry to hear that it's coming back...hopefully you're nipping it in the bud before it gets worse. I'm with you, the gym might be your alternative...elipticals cut down on the wear and tear of your feet, right?? hang in there...dang it!

didnt have to go to doctor he called in order...water pill to cut down on fluids, and more antibotic...he told me last time might be the shoes, so once i get better i have 2 more pairs i can use..im thinkin now mabye my feet are sweating to much and thats whats causing this...i have one pair thats ventilated..so hopin they will help...my blisters are just on top of my foot from my sock line to my toes...an only on half of the top on both sides...odd huh...so another 10 day vacation from walking....

I was thinking along the same lines as dheimer too, about the replacing of your shoes! I mean after all, she PLAYED A PSYCHIATRIST on TV once, she might have a valid point! LOL

A couple of thoughts-in case it has not been covered:
Socks-make sure to wear socks that fit properly and are made of material called "cool max" or something that wicks the sweat away from your skin....hopefully as we move into fall (if you live where you actually have seasons) you feet will sweat less in cooler weather.
Shoes-FWIW I have found that New Balance shoes, especially the 1220 series are very comfortable and cushy.
I hope you feel better very quickly and this blister problem does not reoccur.

You poor guy! Sounds miserable! Hopefully you can get this foot situation under wraps. I know how you love your steps - thousands of them! Keep the faith!
