Foot injury
in Health ·
I’m certainly no medical expert who can hand you a magic formula for pain relief, but since I have incredibly sensitive feet myself, I know exactly what you're going through.
Ever since I was a kid, my foot joints have been an issue, and that big toe joint specifically always seems to act up. To avoid that nagging pain, I’m extremely picky about my shoes. Nothing with high heels—and if I absolutely have to wear something with a bit of height, I research it intensely before buying. I stay away from anything tight or narrow that squishes my feet. My footwear has to be soft, made from natural materials, and feature good cushioning inside.
But, there are times when the pain in my right foot just becomes unbearable.
When that happens, I take a cold soak. I mix in some salt and soak my feet until the water warms up naturally. 😁
Then, I apply a nourishing cream and give the sore spots a good massage.
It also helps to keep my legs elevated; usually, I’ll just lie down on the bed and prop my feet up on some pillows.
Try not to push your feet too hard with uncomfortable shoes right now; just follow the advice you were given, rest up, and let those painful areas cool down.
I actually think you might be able to find a specialized medicated cream at a local drugstore that helps dull the ache.
I really hope you’re feeling even a little bit better today. If not, tomorrow is a brand new day. 🙂
