Interesting link...thank you. We don't have any compounding pharmacies here. How does that work?
I take magnesium now...500 mg. If I take much more than that, it gives me diarrhea...bad

I haven't tried/never seen magnesium oil, didn't even know there was such a thing, but that sounds like a good way to get it to my foot - thanks!
I love picking people's brains here - thank you!
ETA: mrspoppers, I was involved in that thread and have those heel seats. They feel good, but they didn't really control it. murrcat, good luck with the hateful shin splints
