I injured a ligament in the top of my foot about 4 years ago and it never healed properly. I also have some tendon damage- same foot. I have a lot of pain in that foot and some days are worse than others. I take vioxx and T-3's with codiene for the pain. I have to be on my feet all day at work, and am trying to get in to see a specialist in the next few weeks - the office is in another community 45 minutes away. Until I get my walking assessment...

I wonder if anyone has any ideas what could be good excercise for me to do in the meantime. Swimming or extra walking really seems to aggravate the condition. Do you know of any videos I can do for some upper body excercise I can do sitting on my coffee table?? I could do stretching excericises with my left foot, it is just the right foot that aches.

I want to be more of an inspiration for my daughter, but it is hard for me to get out there and do any real excercise with her. Last year I tried walking around the block while she was learning how to ride her two wheeler with no training wheels. I would get one night of walking and have to skip 2 or 3 due to pain. I am also a single parent, and do not have a lot of free time to go to the gym or the pool. I need something I can do after work before I pick my kid up from school, or on my days off (during the week), or just when I have a spare 20 minutes.
Any ideas? anyone?
