Completed after work. Having a bit of foot pain recently, doc has ruled out gout and arthritis so waiting to see the podiatrist. funnily enough it hurts more walking than running. shoes off and tea on x x

Could be a bit of plantar faciitis, hurts in the heel area when you get up in the morning walking then goes off later on? or hurts in the front of the ball of the foot? I get it a bit, rest up roll a tennis ball or can under the foot, keep gently stretching the foot & achilles, gently do some heal drops on the stairs for the achilles, stretching the legs in general, calves, thighs, hamstrings it can be all connected in some way..😊

Heel area is fine, it hurts at the Base of my toes. rolling a ball under my foot sounds very relaxing, going to try that x ty

Yes, try it, you've nothing to lose, but don't expect instant permanent relief, it may take some while and may return intermittently, I tried a pad on mine but seemed to make it worse, took a number of weeks for it to die away..

I have ibuprofen gel from docs which helps a bit. have just been wearing trainers all the time as my foot is too sore and swollen at times for ordinary shoes. hoping the podiatrist doesn't tell me to give up the running because I am really enjoying it x
