Now we're not talking acute heel pain.

We are two years into this song and dance and he's being told at 27 years old to take 2,500 steps a day.

So he comes into my office.

We're talking about all of this and he's also a quadruplet.

So it was one of the first quadruplets I think I've ever treated.

So he has, um,

You know, which why I think pain is so difficult.

It's so complicated because now you have this 27-year-old who's seeing his siblings who are at 27, like, enjoy their life and doing all these things.

And he's being told he can take 2,500 steps a day.

So he's now living in his father's basement.

And he's afraid to go above 2,500 steps.

And he used to tell me, he's like, I cry a lot.

I'm depressed.

And wouldn't you be if... So there wasn't any magic exercise that I was going to give him two years into this.

There wasn't any magic orthotic or magic shoe.

He had done all of that.

Shame on me if I would have done the same thing.

So we had a conversation.

And...

I knew I needed to get him outside and I needed to get him walking.
