By the way, doctor.  I have been told by a podiatrist that because of hammertoes, the fat pods on the ball of my foot have dissipated, causing pain when I walk or stand for long periods.  I like to walk for exercise so this is a real bother.  I am trying to figure out how to handle the foot and all of its idiosyncrasies.
