Why do I have such bad pain in my heels?
My heels hurt so bad! It started about a year ago with mild stiffness in the morning. Lately it hurts so bad, when I stand up after a few minutes of sitting down, I want to drop to my knees once I get up on my feet again. After a while the stiffness goes away, but not the mild soreness. Once I am up on my feet I don’t want to sit down because I hate the pain of getting up again. I have never worn high heels. Just comfortable tennis shoes with gel inserts or some sort of arch support. They hurt really bad after I have worked out as well, even on an elliptical. I work at Home Depot and I think it may be the concrete as well, but I’m not on it too much. I have worked retail since I was 16. It may not help later down the road because I am getting my degree in nursing and they don’t sit around! I made an appointment with a podiatrist, but the soonest I can get in at any office is February. It is such agony! I am only 25-years-old! Why do they hurt so bad??
You should see a diferent podiatrist sooner. There is no reason why someone can’t see you sooner.
My podiatrist sees you same week.
If it is serious, you shouldn’t wait.
ANd if it is plantar f. , it just takes lots of time and only wearing tennis shoes for about 1 1/2 years.
Mne cleared up all on its own, but it was long and painful
