Icky foot situation, really, don't read this if you have a senstive stomach or are eating



Having purchased a fine shiney pair of new work shoes yesterday today I am wearing my old ones as the back of my left foot is covered in two huge blisters that are exceedingly painful; when I got home last night (on reflection going to the gym was probably bad idea) I checked my foot and found I had two large swollen blisters there, obviously inflated with something; so in the interests of scientific curiosity I decided to lance them both, that plus they bloody hurt and I figured it was payback. They weeped a load of clear liquid that I have *no* idea what is is, and deflated after a bit more ethusiastic stabbing, to 2 flat sections of skin that just hurt.
Shoes, bah.

The clear fluid is tissue serum. Lancing the blisters and then being gentle with them for a while's probably the best option.
