How To Ease Your Foot Pain
If your foot pain is due to an injury or overlapping condition, your doctor should be able to provide you with proper treatment. Otherwise, you have to look for ways to manage the pain yourself.
Below are the things that can help you deal with foot pain.
- Wear a pair of thick socks or diabetic socks
- Choose soft-soled shoes
- Soak your feet in hot water with Epsom salts
- Always wear soft and well-cushioned slippers
- Orthotics
- Gentle stretching
- Extremely gentle massage
- Apply cooling lotion
A study done on custom orthotics has found that it may help people who have fibromyalgia to be able to function better.
Foot pain may also be due to some other reasons that do not concern fibromyalgia. If you are suffering from persistent foot pain to the point that it affects your mobility, inform your doctor about it. But do not immediately assume that it is because of fibromyalgia. It could take time and will require a bit of experimentation before you can find the best way to treat your foot pain.
