At one tme myheels hurt so bad I couldnt walk much even in the house and I went to the doctor for x-ray and they found heel splints bone fragments it healed in time. I raise them as much as I can, put supports in my shoes, wear good shoes and soak when needed. No sure if this is what you are looking for hope it helps some. I am sure weight loss will make a differance

First off are your shoes comfortable not just fashionable. I had to go for form over function log ago. I were Daskos now to work and my feet and posture are better.

I could also be medically something wrong- bone spurs, slints, plantar fasicitis - all are horrible. Check it out with a doctor.

How old are your shoes? They absolutely don't last forever. My favorite work shoes have been relegated to once a week because my heels were feeling bruised by the end of the week. New shoes made the difference. Hope you feel better fast, sore feet are awful!

Acupuncture could also help. I broke my foot years ago where it was crushed in a car accident. The swelling, bruising and pain was very uncomfortable. Physio didn't help. A few sessions of acupuncture though I felt more feeling back in my foot, noticed the swelling reduce significantly and improved color and circulation. I still get a laugh that a colleague was impressed how good my foot was coming along, but she thought the good foot was the one that had been in the accident! The time spent just lying still as the needles were in was also relaxing. I found it very painless, u don't need to watch if your squeamish about needles.

I still follow up with a podiatrist every few years. They check my shoes, inner soles and alignment and also inspect my nails and treat hard skin build up. Worth the visit. My feet look great and its prob one of my fav body parts that I hope to keep in great condition in the years to come

I would definitely say to invest in some good quality shoes with good support in them. Also, if they are still bothering you a trip to the podiatrist could help. I had plantar facitis and they made me custom inserts for my shoes. My heels used to hurt so bad and it hurt getting up in the morning especially and stepping down.

Now that I have lost weight, I actually am not using the inserts any longer and am pain free.

Good luck!

I know I sound like an annoying doctor but weight loss makes all the difference. I sooo know what it's like to have painful feet. I agree good shoes are a must. Also make sure they are wide enough. That is a huge issue for me. Even after loosing 170 pounds; in EasySpirit I still take 8.5 Double Wide. Genetically I have wide feet.

Wow, I had entirely forgotten that one of the reasons I went to see my surgeon was pain in my feet - even at a BMi of 35. I remember hw much it hurt to get up from sitting now.

If its any consolation, now that I think about it, it disappeared pretty quickly and I never thought bout it again, so there's your answer - weight loss! It doesn't need to e that much either.
