My achy breaky feet!

Published

Hi All!

Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for perking up my tired, aching feet? A pedicure sure is nice...if only I had the time/$$ to do it every week :)

I am prepared to try any and all suggestions!!

Thanks!

My favorite shoes are good running shoes. Right now I have a pair of Nike Lunarglides which I love. With support hose and those shoes, even 12 hour shifts while being 40 weeks pregnant were manageable and didn't leave my feet hurting.

Alternate hot and cold therapy! Hot bath c. epson salts. And my personal favorite...I like to go to the hot tub at my gym and focus those jets on the bottom of my feet. When my feet start bothering me (preferably before report) I take 1 220mg naproxen (aleve). Sit when you can! I know Im new and my feet kill me at the end of the day!

I never ever leave home without:

Some serious compression stockings

Dansko's

Advil or Aleve

New Balance sneakers to change in to if I really can't take the pain.

My feet still hurt everyday, but I can still work through it.

New nurse here. Can anyone recommend a good pair of shoes?

A lot of nurses swear by Danskos, but I got plantar fasciitis right off the bat. I had good luck with New Balance and custom inserts. Cost a fortune, but I enjoyed not feeling like I had spikes being driven into the soles of my feet.
