Don’t Relinquish under Foot Pain
A common cause of foot pain
is inflammation of the thick connective tissue (fascia) that runs from the heel bone to the base of the toes. This is known as plantar fasciitis. It can make your heel hurt, too. The pain is often worse after activity, or when you take your first few steps on arising each morning or when you get up from a chair after sitting for a while.Many things can bring on plantar fasciitis. Sometimes it's a structural problem: arches that are too high, flat feet, or feet that roll too far outward or inward when you walk. Thin-soled, ill-fitting, or worn-out shoes or high heels can also contribute. Vigorous exercise, especially in the wrong shoes, can make things worse. So can being overweight , having legs of slightly different length (a common problem), working out on hard surfaces, or anything that puts undue pressure on your feet. Wear and tear, as you grow older, can affect your feet, too.
Try home remedies first:- Make sure your shoes fit and have shock-absorbent soles.
- Try a shoe insert or heel pad from the chemists.
- Avoid high heels and use proper exercise footwear.
- Instead of running or walking, try swimming, stationary cycling, or weight training.
- Try custom made orthotic inserts for your shoes. These can correct such mechanical problems as rolling your feet inward or outward too much as you walk, or legs of un-equal length.
- When the pain becomes severe, rest the feet for a few days. Massage your arches with your fingers. Try rolling your foot over a tennis ball or a can. Once the pain has subsided, an exercise that may help prevent recurrence is picking up marbles with your toes.
It these measures don't help, and if the pain becomes chronic, consult an orthopedist, podiatrist, or physical therapist. Rarely, arch pain can be a symptom of arthritis or some other ailment - and a doctor can rule this out or, if it exists, treat it.
