At the time you diagnosed him with Navicular, wasn't it a "might" be navicular? did you do exrays?

No - we didn't do xrays.... We just worked him before and after numbing first one then both heels. I guess his official diagnosis was 'heel pain'.

At the time, the conversation was "we can do xrays to confirm it, or we can treat him as if he has it and see if he gets better.

My farrier doesn't think he has navicular... he thinks he has a little arthritis is all. The vet spent a lot of time, flexing and extending his legs and watching him move... and lamenesses is his specialty. I saw the difference when he numbed the heel... I know that was it.
