Supposedly, I was diagnosed with PDD NOS in school. Possibly, one of the symptoms I experience is toe walking. Walking for long distances is difficult, because almost always a sharp pain sets in. I suspect it's because toe walking strains my calve muscles. But walking on my heels does not feel correct or natural either.
Do you need to wear special shoes for this problem?
Part of the problem seems psychological. I do not like being around other people in what seems like a vulnerable stance or position and feel like I always need to be capable of fast movement.
Right now one of my calves is very uncomfortable.
Is there any way to solve this problem besides medical treatment or intervention?
To clarify : the toe walking is not pronounced and most people probably don't notice it. But, instead of landing first on my heel when walking, I land on my toes.
