About this product
Here's a long description ready to paste into IngramSpark's title metadata:
Your shift doesn't end when you clock out - it ends when your feet stop screaming.
Written by Dr. James Whitfield, a retired reconstructive foot and ankle surgeon with nearly three decades in the operating room, My Feet Are Killin' Me! is a practical field manual for anyone whose job keeps them on their feet all day - nurses, teachers, retail and restaurant workers, flight attendants, police officers, and everyone else who doesn't get to sit down.
Dr. Whitfield introduces the Tripod Principle, a simple framework for understanding how your foot is built to bear weight - and why so many modern shoes work against it. He calls out the everyday "coffin shoe" for what it is, walks through the real mechanical stumbling blocks behind heel pain, hammer toes, corns, and poor circulation, and lays out what actually helps, drawn straight from decades of clinical practice.
This isn't a quick-fix pamphlet. Inside you'll find:
A clear, illustrated breakdown of foot mechanics and why pain shows up where it does
A self-assessment to identify your specific risk factors
A 12-week Shift-Pressure Diary and 31-day Inspection Log to track your own patterns
A Shoe Audit worksheet to evaluate what's actually in your closet
A glossary of clinical terms explained in plain language
Red-flag guidance on when to see a professional versus manage it yourself
Whether you're on your feet for an eight-hour shift or a double, this book gives you the same framework Dr. Whitfield used with his patients - so you can keep working the job you love without paying for it every night when you get home.
