My feet hurt!!?

I am an RN and I have a new job. I have to stand up for most of my 12 hour shifts. At the end of the day my feet hurt. I have good shoes. I bought some insoles to try. I also bought some Alleve to take during the day. I have a footbath at home. Any other suggestions?

make a slant board so that you can elevate your legs for proper circulation. Purchase plywood big enough for your body and longer so that you can place one end on a chair or sofa and the other end on the floor. Lay on this for 30 minutes after work. If you can do this twice daily you will start to feel many differences.





I've enclosed a link for a supplement that works really well on leg pain. Also use the spice turmeric as much as possible because it works on pain and inflammation.
Reply:My foot doc said the freeze a water bottle and roll it under your feet when you get home.
Reply:I would think you need to have a job where you are not working 12 hr. shifts! 8 hrs is long enough for anyone to work no matter what the proffession is.
Reply:Try ultra absorbent insoles from prettypinktoes.co.uk. They are fantastic expecially if you are on your feet all day. They absorb the sweat and dissapate it out. Your feet will stay fresh and dry all day, not sweaty and hot. They really are worth a try
Reply:Humans weren't meant to stand on their feet for 12 hours at a time. We aren't horses! But, if you absolutely have to stand, bring another pair of shoes to work with you (a different style) and change in the middle of your shift. Whenever you get a break take your shoes off and rotate your ankles, stretch your achilles tendons and massage your tarsals and metatarsals. If you stand in one position get a box or something to set one foot on and alternate.
