[|Human|] Hi, I m 51 , average weight & I think in good health. I m a hairdresser so am on my feet a lot....even when I m not working & from the afternoon onwards my legs & feet ache....if I get up in the night or when I get up in the morning the bottom of me feet at very painful, I have to stretch my muscles out to relieve the pain... This has been happening for quite a while now ....is this normal please ?
[|AI|]  Hi...your foot pain is due to strain from your standing.for a long time... your calf muscles.that is the muscles on back of your legs gets tighter resulting in straining your foot muscles making it tighter and shorter as well...reason for your pain in foot after rest is your muscles trying to recover.when the recovery is not happening properly there will be pain due to inflammation -- spasm. I suggest you to kindly immerse your leg in a bucket of Luke warm salt water.in the evening before going to bed keep stretching your calf muscles. Go for an arch support to receive foot muscles of strain.wear soft sole footwear while you stand for a long time...keep icing your calf muscles frequently.hope this is helpful for you.kindly revert in case you need any clarification...and guidance.
