I have heel pain and arch pain in my left foot. I have orthodics, but they still hurt. What shoe would help?

Question:

I stand on my feet 8 hours a day at work and I am at least 50# overweight.I am a female. I can't exercise orwalk because my feet hurt all the time.

Answers:
Sounds like plantar fascitis, which basically involves inflammation of the tendon in your foot. Get a tennis ball and roll it back and forth under your foot, specifically your arch. Also take 800 mg of motrin three times a day. Ice your foot in the evening. If after a week you are still having pain, you should see a doctor.

Get a doctor!!

A proper doctor who can guide you on your diet, and especially one whom can prescribe a proper shoe for you. I believe there are doctors like that. I think a hospital would be more apropriate than a clinic though, hospitals are larger. The possiblity of finding someone to help you with both conditions would be larger.

Ouch. I feel the pain for you. Get professional help, rather than drag the condition! Good luck! :D

Have you been to a foot specialist? He/she will recommend an appropriate shoe for you. I hope you're NOT wearing high heals or shoes with no arch support. Go see your Doctor...the sooner you go, the sooner you'll feel better. I promise!
