Thank you for the suggestion!
I too have bad foot pain
& burning especiallyy if I've spent too much time standing or walking. ICE PACKS help my foot pain. Heat worsens the pain!
I hope you try Ice packs but start slowly & don't let the cold stop you from the ice therapy
Start with cold water packs.
I use the ice packs that are filled with some kind of gel that doesn't freeze hard, stays pliable. My packs are 9X12 & I can wrap my foot with it. I also use a bootie I found On Amazon that comes with 2 3"X4" thin ice packs with the same type of filling. It's amazing how much cold helps. It will feel very cold at first, don't give up & don't over use ice packs to the point of causing further injury to your feet. I've found heat increases my pain. Amazon sells a bootie that holds 2 small ice packs that really helps!
I hope this information helps others suffering with foot pain.
I'm blessed to have discovered this group! Thanks everyone for the warm welcomes & helpful information.
God bless everyone!!
If I don't laugh I'll cry. And I'm ugly when I cry.
Susan,
I broke my little toe. The break cut off the blood flow. Gangrene set in over 1/2 of my toe. While I was waiting for the surgeon to make up his mind I was getting dressed one morning I pulled the leg of my pants on and heard a small click. The 1/2 toe just fell off. I saw the surgeon about a week ago and he just said, "Come back in a couple of months & we'll see what it looks like".
I think my body has a medical mind of its own. The bad part of the toe fell off and I had a fungus on my toenails that's growing out. The 1/2 closest to the nail bed is white and the other half if ugly yellow.
So, that's the toe story. 🤣
It does that sometimes,JoReinhard, your pain in your back must be the worst. Tell me about your poor toe sometime, sorry about your fall. I can't use that volteran gel all the time if I do it stops working, so I only use it on real bad days. Take care❤️🙏🙏🙏
Does anyone get flare up where rib cage is.
Does anyone get an electric shock like pain under their foot?
