Comments
things that help me:
-hot bath
- heat packs
-ice packs
- ice gell/ nurofen gel things
-gentle stretches
- resting
- pain relief (reccomended doses of course)
- depending on the location sometimes strapping it for extra support helps
i went to a podiatrist to help with my legs and feet @Nightruner23might help you too maybe...
i had to go privately @Nightruner23 as in not through medicare but it was only 60 a session depending on if i needed to buy like shoe inserts.
you could ask gp to refer you or ask if they think itll help or you can just contact them yourself an make an appt and enquire
For me I have pain in my foot, so for me I rest and elevate when I can.
Ice helps with swelling and pain after a long day if I've been on my feet a lot.
I've found Epsom salt soaks or baths help the pain too. I don't entirely know how it helps, but it does
Otherwise I use pain relief and distraction 🙂
Hey @Bee the problem i have with my feet as well i have to wear certain shoes or else my feet kill me the shoes i have now are good im worried about it because i get to certain shoes no nikes or anything like that help me fewt they kill them it's shit so my shoes im wearing are very expensive
My sandals which I found and fit were about $150-170 or something each! And have a good arch support.
@Bee im a size 12 in us which is 2 sizes up from Australia and the work ones are 11 or 10.5 i think it sucks when i have to find shoes that will work for my feet
