My feet hurt something fierce! Pain Relief for sore feet?!


Question: I am a Fedex Courier who averages about 14 hours a day on my feet. This is not total work time but total time counting when I wake up and get back home. I have a sharp pain in my right heel and it's plantar faschi something or other. I don't know the exact name but it hurts! I know that much! Any quick relief before I see a foot doctor?

Plantar Fasciitis.

You can try hot-cold treatments at home. Place it in cold water followed immediately by warm water. (Cold then Hot if possible).

Aspirin may help but most likely will have little effect.

When you go to the doctor he/she will most likely a corticosteroid shot (if pain seems sufficient).

The best cure is to keep off of it (impossible for you I know).

Try going to a store with shoe inserts and getting a good heel pad or the like (the pedi should be able to point you to a good brand).

Try a soak with epsom salt and water as hot as you can stand. I use my mop bucket with hot water and 2 cups of the salt. I soak for at least 20 minutes, would soak longer if I can. I add hot water if needed. The directions are 2 cups for a whole bath so if you can soak longer it is ok to let some water out to put in some more hot.It could also be a bone spur, I have had the plantar's wart before on my big toe of all places. When the dr finished getting it all out I almost had no toe left. But that feels more like a piece of glass in your foot.

get some real expensive shoes that are designed for walking and soak your feet in warm water.try epson salt in warm water and rub your feet when dry will help until you see foot doctor you might need insoles made for your feet made by your feet doctor also take ibrofphin it will help until you see a doctor good luck
