Take care of yourself first. The cars will still be there.

Sometimes ya gotta push through it though or they will never move again....

I rotate shoes with several different pairs....but have one pair that I do wear often until either my feet start hurting or my back does.

Anything that throws your alignment out of whack will cause trouble. When I drove old trucks with worn seat suspensions and sliders in my early career, I had frequent back issues. Tilting to one side set the problem off. Driving the Peterbilt in later years, with a perfectly aligned air seat, I never had a problem.

Hate to hear about the back pains… New shoes are always Great! I find a nice comfy office chair with wheels is incredibly helpful in the shop when trying to work with back pains.

Oh man....that reminds me when I bought my 66 Belvedere in 88. The bench seat was fairly worn and driving it back and forth to work made my back hurt. Threw in a pair of buckets from my old race car (Duster seats they looked like) and the back aches went away.

With two L4-L5 herniated disc surgeries well behind me - last one in 2005 - I'm familiar with back pain.
Don't stay too idle, sometimes that can make it worse. Do some light duty stuff tomorrow - maybe sorting through and organizing parts?
Hope your back improves! Strong aspirin is good stuff...

I'll take Tylenol before Asberns.....

 

[eldubb440]

was on my feet at least 3 hours...... after the first 30 minutes, I was pretty much normal...... took a ride into town and back, I'm good!

don't want to get ahead of myself, but I'm always amazed at the body's ability to heal....... headed back out to the shop, hope I feel good tomorrow

 

[eldubb440]

2 days ago I could barely stand up

Last year, the wife and I were fitted for insoles. I switch them to new shoes. I was having cramps and took a chance that they would help. They did. I can walk or run like a kid and don't have any foot discomfort anymore.

 

[eldubb440]

my feet never hurt...... my back almost never hurts.....

 

[71RRHI]

Well if your feet and back don't hurt, get to work on the GTX. I drank a bunch of beer and tore apart the dash on my convertible tonight.

 

[71RRHI]

When I got the car it had a dash cap on it. Looked okay, but it has always bothered me. I ordered a new dash pad from ABC moparts the day I bought the car, but kept putting off doing it. Well today is the day.

Having cramps because of shoes? I got fitted a couple of years back and they made things worse for me...but no cramps.

 

[Kern Dog]

No. The heels and pads of both feet hurt no matter the shoes.
The shaped and arched insoles spread the load across more of both feet and the pain went away. Maybe I have too high arches? I didn't see a Podiatrist, just a salesman that took impressions of both feet and found that I needed support in the arches.
