Severe Foot Pain Please Help?!


Question:

Severe Foot Pain Please Help?

This is kind of hard to explain. I am a Housekeeper and I am on my feet all day 5 days a week. A few weeks ago I began getting severe pains in the bottoms of my feet. My right one is the worst. Now it is to the point of Not even being able to put my body weight on it. I still go to work everyday and do my normal work day. By the time I get off work the Severe pain comes back in my feet. I limp every where because I cant put weight on my Right Foot. Also Now I am getting the Pain up into My Right Ankle now. Help! What could be wrong?
I have rested My feet on Every day off I have but it doesn't help!

Answers:

It sounds like it's probably plantar faciatis. The plantar fascia runs along the bottom of the foot and can get inflamed and painful for a few reasons like high arches, flat feel, wearing cheap shoes that lack good support. If you don't want to see a podiatrist right away for custom shoe inserts you can try some things first. Pick up inserts with arch support from your local cvs/walgreens (dr. schols are good ones). Twice a day put 2 cold cans of soda on the floor and roll them back and forth using the entire length of your foot (this stretches and helps with inflammation). Stretch your calves daily as well. If after doing this for a week you still are not feeling better you will have to see a podiatrist. Good luck.
