But I can't stand foot pain anymore so even **I** will give it a try.

How long before it works? Or if it doesn't work, do I get to come back and yell? And how much is a SMALL glass? An ounce? LOL

Hate milk & soy milk also!. If you're interested, I found a way to get it (Silk Soy Milk) down in larger quantities-make a blender shake with it using a scoop of slim fast powder or instant breakfast & ice. With 16oz/d, it took about 2 weeks for me to notice an effect. Watch out for the side effect, remember that there's soy BEANS in that stuff

16 OUNCES is a SMALL glass? Darl'en, you are starting to talk like a man who can't measure! You know how long one minute of football time REALLY is?

SMALL? I'm over here thinking maybe small means a juice glass, you know, about 4 ounces. SIXTEEN OUNCES? Gahhh... I don't think I could do it. And the bean effect... oh my.

No, I mean about an 8 oz glass, really, small.

Just try it , please!

P.S. I've had no problems with the "bean" thing.

What do you suppose it is about soy milk that helps foot pain?

[jetsetter]

I have absolutely no idea. Anybody know?

I don't know, I think I would have to see several double blind studies and a few JAMA articles before I could put any kind of soy milk (or any other milk) in THIS mouth. Gahhhhhhhh

I have tried my true blue favorite Nikes, I've tried Crocs, ASICS Gel Tennis shoes, and now I just ordered Birkenstocks and Nurse Mates. I'd rather dump a fortune into every bloody shoe on the market than to put soy milk in my mouth. (yuck)

I feel for you. I spent months with terrible heel pain, which I "self diagnosed" as plantar fasciitis. Though relatives who had experienced similar pain swore by the orthotics they got from podiatrists, I scorned that approach, was stubborn and never talked to my doc about it.

What did help: (1) lots and lots of ibuprofen, (2) ice, and (3) stretching my calves every day.

Have now been pain free for a few months, and I'm not gonna even ask why. Just be thankful! Maybe it was really an inflamed bursa?
