Posted: Fri Apr 04, 2008 1:32 am Post subject: Are the New Balance Pressure Relief Insoles for walking a good brand? |
|
|
| My doctor recommended this brand because I have fibromyalgia and lower back pain. I already have New Balance running/walking shoes (they are really good) but he wants me to get these insoles along with the shoe. Does anyone know about this stuff? Is this the best brand of insole or are there better? I have to sort of "report" back to him on my next Dr. visit with a good insole. He is a very thorough doctor! Thanks! |

| Some shoes are more comfortable than others to us Fibromites but ultimately you are going to have pain when walking. As you know some days more than others.I have had fibro for over 12 yrs. I take Guaifenesin for my fibro. You have to learn how to take the med properly for it to work on fibro. Here is a book you need to get either from a library or you could get it at eBay or amazon cheaper than a bookstore.What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Fibromyalgia by Dr. Paul St. AmandHere is a website for more info and for an on line support group for those who take guaifenesin...www.fibromyalgiatreatment.comIt is not a cure and it is not a pain med but it has allowed me to stop taking prescription pain meds. I used to take them constantly. Check it out. |

| The Pressure Relief insoles are made with a Plastazote® top layer which is similar to the "memory foam" material you see in many products these days. That combined with NB's cushioning material makes it one of the better inserts "for extra-sensitive, diabetic, and arthritic feet, and for those who stand on their feet all day." |
