I have a recurring pain on the sole of my right foot. It hurts when I walk on it, at the front, like I've been bruised. It's been on and off for months.
I know I should just see a doctor for a diagnosis, but I also know something about myself - I'm VERY prone to somatising emotions as pain. And this is a stressful time. I'm actually having a lot of trouble putting 'my best foot forward' about a number of issues in my life, and I feel frustrated and stuck.
Maybe I'm wrong to think in this way and it's just plantar fascitis or something. I'll def see a doc sometime soon if it goes on, but given that I like to think about things more holistically I did also think I would ask the I Ching.
I asked: What is causing my foot pain? 7.3-46. An upper arch problem (upward mobility)? An injury? Or: a psychological burden?
What should I do about it? Hex 22. Hmmm.... honouring your feet. New footwear? or something more metaphorical?
Any thoughts are very welcome and thank you very much.
