Not exactly attractive but...

.... they are definitely helping! Ordered these in the middle of the night from Amazon as plantar pain was keeping me awake. Reviews looked generally pretty good. Impressed so far. Combined with daily stretching and icing as necessary hopefully I’ve found a solution. Thanks for you advice and support lovely peeps 🙏

[Vintage61 Graduate in reply to Buddy34]

So far so good 😊

Glad the are working- plantar is horrible - hope it’s gone soon

[Vintage61 Graduate in reply to Slothgoesrunning]

Thank you 😊

[Runrgl Graduate]

What are these called please? Hubby is also suffering and anything is worth a try!

[Vintage61 Graduate]

They are compression socks from Amazon. Company called Powa but there are other makes on there. I’ve worn them overnight and the pain in my foot is significantly improved. Early days but happy so far.

[Runrgl Graduate in reply to Vintage61]

Great thanks will have a look

[Vintage61 Graduate in reply to Runrgl]

I’ve also found some exercises that work on improving hip flexion which has a positive impact on foot pain.

[Hidden in reply to Vintage61]

If you have pain in bottom of your feet try some calf stretches, look online to make sure you are doing them right.

Tight calf muscles can cause the bottom of the feet to tighten which leads to soreness.

[Twinkle9 Graduate]

They look fine and with your trainers on they will just look like socks. Xx

[Vintage61 Graduate in reply to Twinkle9]

👍🏻

[backintime Graduate]

Just like fingerless gloves for feet : )

[Vintage61 Graduate in reply to backintime]

Exactly!

[backintime Graduate in reply to Vintage61]

I had a bit of ache but it went away. I do "feet" exercises though to strengthen my feet in general and I wear no shoes at home, just barefeet or socks so that my feet have to work.

Sometimes I walk around on tip toes (at home) or stand on tip toes while washing up just to strengthen feet muscles

[Vintage61 Graduate in reply to backintime]

Barefeet is a thing of the past for me it seems. I’m looking for a “right comfy shoe” that looks vaguely fashionable, or I may just have to live in trainers..... ooh that’s a good excuse to up my range! 👍🏻

[Scitechy Graduate]

Have you tried a sports massage on your lower legs? It really helps to loosen up the tightness in your leg and foot. I would recommend!

[Vintage61 Graduate in reply to Scitechy]

I hadn’t thought about that, thx for suggestion

I used to use similar and they really did help a lot, well worth buying.
