re: Looking for Advice on Dealing With Foot Pain

Get inserts for your shoes. I have some I ordered online and some I got from Walmart. The Walmart ones seem to work as well as the more expensive ones. Also, there are exercises you can do to stretch your calf muscles that are helpful as well.

Kuru footwear


Its the only shoe i wear, had planter barely walk, instant relief.

The past few months I have been experiencing a lot of foot pain due to the amount of walking I do each day at work. The pain got so bad that I could barely walk by the end of the work week. I finally went and bought a 60 pk of Salonpas pain relieving patches. Each morning I put a patch across my heels and a patch across across the pad of my feet, and cover them with socks. Since then, the amount of pain and discomfort I feel has decreased considerably from what I’d consider a 9-10 pain wise to 0-2.

The patches themselves provide relief for 8 - 10 hours, and are fairly inexpensive. I think I pay 9 bucks for a 60 pack.

Awesome. Hope it helps. It took a few days but the extreme pain I was feeling in my big toe dissapated. I continue to wear them because they’ve made such a huge difference. My feet still get a little sore from all the walking, but I’m pain free.
