Has anyone else noticed that everything goes downhill with age? As I’ve gotten older I’ve started noticing all these gross changes. My lower back is constantly sore and I’m always needing to stretch it out regardless if I’m spending my day seated or standing. I’ve also noticed all these strange moles and freckles appear on my body which I must admit, I find unsightly. Weight-wise all I need to do is look at a cake and suddenly I’ve gained about four kilos. Don’t even get me started on my feet. I used to have soft and silky feet. Now they’re covered in hard corns and callouses. I have no idea why that has happened. It’s not like I’m some barefoot caveman who runs around daily on rough surfaces. I’m usually in loafers or some sort of sandal! I’ve also noticed my feet experience a lot more pain as I age. I used to laugh at women older than me when they’d say that they struggle to wear high heels, but boy do I get it now. My arches absolutely kill me! I’ve had to purchase some nice but albeit lower and more versatile shoes. Since doing this I have noticed that the pain has definitely eased.
I’ve booked an appointment with a highly recommended podiatry clinic near Cheltenham to take a look at the corns on my feet. They’re not causing me any pain but I know that they’re there and I find them absolutely unsightly to look at so I would like to see if there’s a solution. I wonder if anyone else I know experiences them. I haven’t heard any of my friends mention they have corns on their feet but then again, they definitely haven’t heard me speak of it either. Perhaps it’s something that is totally normal but no one talks about it so no one realises how normal it is. I would love to know why I get them so I could pinpoint a solution. Does anyone else get them? Does anyone have any solutions?
