Yeah the big pilated woodpecker that sounds like a jackhammer. They listen for grubs in the wood then hammer away until they can get their long tongue in there to snatch them out. I used to take plantain leaves and boil them until they were soft and make a poultice out of it. It works really well for sore aching feet.

I'm a Medical Exercise Specialist and have worked with people with every kind of ailment & prosthetic for decades. Two months ago, I had foot surgery, I'm still recovering and its awful! It's given me a new perspective on doing all those things that it's normal to take for granted. Do the best you can, that's all anyone can do!

Let me start by saying I love your videos and I am no expert so take this comment for what it's worth. I have never had good luck with inserts. I find the one size fits all approach is not right for me. I find the arch support is too high and causes more pain. When I spoke with someone more knowledgeable about the pain I get from them they said that for my shorter duration hikes it wasn't an issue, but if I attempted something longer I would need more support and suggested I look for a company that would make inserts to slowly lift the arch. They said it is kind of like using only one Invisalign mouth piece from the start. You are doing too much to manipulate your body to the ideal position at once. Just a thought and hope you find a solution.

Look up Mischief on Trail. He's hiked the AT with prosthetics. He lost both feet to frost bite on a thru hike attempt, then went back later. I hope your foot pain resolves soon. :)

You are doing great Sunshine. I keep checking in. At least you are hurting doing something amazing!!! Go to Gaitlinburg and rest and enjoy yourself. You don’t have to go through hell to hike. It is suppose to be enjoyable. I love all the history and natural history!!! I hope you get to see a Hellbender in the Smokies!

I’m sorry your feet hurt so bad. I hope some rest in Gatlinburg helps. Check out the Appy Lodge. It’s adorable and themed after the AT. Probably the nicest hotel is the Park Vista. It’s beautiful and sits on top of a hill overlooking G’burg. Also, when you mentioned about having no feet, there is actually a hiker that goes by the name of Mischief who is an amputee and hikes and bikes. Check out his story! m.kzitem.info?sp=mAEA&search_query=mischief+on+the+appalachian+trail

If I'm ever in the Smokies again, I'm going to ask the rangers if they ever tell people to "speed it up, fatty" They'll, of course look at me like "what's that all about"? I'll just chuckle inwardly.

Wait till you see a Pileated woodpecker. They are huge . I used to fit AT thru hikers for boots . Your feet shouldn’t be hurting this much. Do you have a history of foot pain? Try boots instead of shoes. Get some support for the bottom of your feet . Try some Lowa’s or Aslo’s . Maybe Vasque.

I'm thinking that's what she's hearing here, I don't know anything else is that loud. Finding them is sorta easy though just look for a dead snag and that's usually where you find them.

I agree that she would definitely benefit from a well fitting boot instead of trail runners or anything similar. With modern boots the weight difference is not that great.

I had suggested a podiatrist but maybe a sports doctor. Gotta be one in Gatlinburg. Please try to go! I don't agree with feeling better based on comparing yourself to others. Saying some people have no feet, then you have people with no feet who are also missing a hand, then you have those with no feet but don't have any hands...
