  • Answer:

    A couple of things you can do. Talk to other people who work your shift - find our what kind of shoes they wear to avoid heel pain. Then next chance you get, go see a podiatrist and tell him your specific problem. He may want to fit you with a custom orthotic that will take care of the problem. My sister had to do this; what a difference it made. Finally, the best shock-absorbing insole I know of (this is in case you can't go to podiatrist) is the Superfeet green insole. Best of luck to you.

It's hard to know for sure why you have just heel pain, not that it can't be overcome, just that it's a guessing game to get the the root of the pain. There are two main muscles that go to your heel and when one of them is tight you will feel pain in your heel. The one muscle is your calf muscle which attaches to the back of your heel. The other is the muscle under your foot that runs to your toes. When either of them are tight it can be pain in your heel. For that reason here's how to free both of those muscles up to get rid of the pain: Calf muscle: While sitting pull your leg into your lap. Take the hand on the same side of your body as the leg and wrap your fingers around the front of your leg, about midway, so you can press your thumb into the muscle in the back of your leg. Then take your hand from the opposite side and place it right under your first hand so you can press your thumb into the muscle as well. Then press both in with a good amount of pressure and hold. Now relax your body by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed. After 45 seconds slowly raise the front of your foot upward as far as you can, then release the pressure on the muscle, but continue holding the front of your foot upward for another 30 seconds. Foot Muscle: With your foot in your lap place your fingers side by side at the back of the arch, right in front of he heel and press in hard and hold. After 30 seconds slowly raise your toes up as far as you can, release the pressure, but hold your toes up for another 30 seconds. For both- for best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed.
