Legs (feet) in pain

annub580 · Feb 26, 2010

All,

I really need some home based ideas to reduce pain in my legs..actually from last 6-8 months, my entire body is in pain..but with body, it is only painful either I try to massage or rub..any part of my body but the with the bottom of my feet..it is always and I mean always in mean..I can feel the pain all the time..specially when I get up in the morning..it becomes difficult to put the feet on floor and as soon as I do it, it is painful...through out the day, I put my feet in hot water with salt..it really helps..but after couple of hours of this method...pain comes back...
in short, no matter what i try...it helps only for short period of time..and pain in my feet comes back...i use rolling foot massger also..but it works for till the time i use it..
please help me with some home based ideas..

i suggest u immediately go to an orthopedician.i think if i am right u have flat feet.i too have it.it was like torture to get up in the mornings for me.i use to dread mornngs.theres no cure but theres a remedy.u have to wear MCP footwear;although ur doc has to prescribe it.do leg yogasanas to combat pain.never walk barefoot.most imp.dnt use painkillers.they wont help u.ive been using MCP footwear.for the last 6/7 yrs.i am not cured but am using MCP every where and preventing further pain

Paru:
Annu has given you good information but since you are in USA please go to a podiatrist and not the ortho.....the podiatrist is a specialist in feet and he can make orthotics for you. Check with your insurance before going but these really work. It is a custom foot support you put in your shoes. I could not walk without them. I get mine in Delhi India as there is a USA trained podiatrist who has a clinic there (I mention for Annu) and I have posted his contact details in another thread. No one without foot pain can understand what an agony it is. Hope you feel better soon.

Ladies,

Thanks for reply but I can't see doc as I don't have insurance at this moment.
I would appreciate if someone can suggest home based ideas..

hi,
even I am having th same problem .First of all get your uric acid level checked up. recently i checked mines,its on the higher side,the doctor says the pain in the feet is due to high levelds of uric acid. hope this helps.

regards
nimmi
