Over the summer Congresswoman Michele Bachmann made a correlation between migraine headaches and wearing high-heeled shoes.  Her son, Dr. Lucas Bachmann, a medical resident at the University of Connecticut, confirmed that his mother in fact noticed a connection between days she wears heels and the onset of migraines.

Medical experts commented and the general consensus was that a direct link between the two is unlikely.

Running a presidential campaign is certainly stressful and a possible source of migraines.  Also, if she suffers from neck and back pain, this could be exacerbated by wearing high heels.

Typical side effects of wearing high-heeled shoes include bunion and hammertoe deformities, and nerve entrapment in the ball of the foot called Neuroma.
