Foot pain can be caused by many reasons, but one of them is being on your feet for many hours a day. This tires the feet and when you sit down or get into bed, getting up can cause discomfort and feel the same swelling, tingling sensation and pain in your feet (especially in the heel) that when you were overusing your feet. To reduce foot pain when you get up, you can use some daily prevention measures to get the relief you need in your feet.
If you feel a lot of pain, the first step will be to go to the doctor so that he can prescribe some medication (such as ibuprofen) to soothe your foot pain and you don’t have to endure the discomfort for too long, this way it will reduce considerably, but you can also have other solutions.
How to relieve foot pain when getting up?
- With cold You can wrap a cold water bottle or ice wrapped in a cloth around your feet with moderate pressure for 20 minutes. Do it once as soon as you get up and then repeat the action three more times during the day. You can also put an ice pack on the bottom of your feet for 20 minutes.
- Elevated feet. If your feet hurt as soon as you get up, you will have to lie down again or sit with your feet elevated to reduce the swelling of the feet. Avoid strenuous activity like jogging or running. Use a compression bandage if the pain accompanies the swelling.
- Cross your legs. Crossing your foot over the knee of your other leg while sitting will help you feel less pain. You will have to curl your fingers and stretch them out, then pull your fingers back towards you as far as you can and hold in this position for 10 seconds. Repeat the stretch with the other foot and perform the movement 20 times.
- Good footwear. Wearing good footwear is essential to reduce skin pain when getting up. You will have to make sure that they are a comfortable and supportive shoe and that their shape adapts to the shape of your feet. The material from which it is made will have to be comfortable, flexible and resistant and above all, you will not have to feel that you are being squeezed at any time.
