Ouch! Foot pain, what can help ease it? | Health and Fitness Source

Question by Ben: Ouch! Foot pain, what can help ease it?
So I started my very hard P.E. class two days ago and now, I have foot pain in my right foot. Now a quick description of the pain/where it is: the pain is in the arch area of my foot (between heel and toes), hurts when I strectch my foot out or bend it to walk or if I press down on it. Will this go away within two days if im off my feet. Also does anything help with it/ help it heal, aka soaking in warm water or something to that effect.

One random question also..When your in pain and take ibprofen then exercise is it bad for you to do 5 days a week for 30 mins (joint pain/muscle pain)?

Best answer:

Answer by YOUR MOM ?
You probably strained a muscle and it should go away soon. Warm soaks will help, along with massaging it, and you can do that yourself.

As for ibuprofen, I have been taking meds for headaches ever since high school ? 10th grade and that was 30 years. ago. I am fine. and I take a LOT of ibuprofen compared to most ? for a headache I usually START with 4 or the 200 mg tabs. Some people might have effed up livers by now, but I think I am fine. And no stomach problems either, (thank you God!) But I fouls never recommend any kid start taking those like I do.

For TEMPORARY relief, you can take them (with parental supervision of course ? I AM NOT A DOCTOR) and the pain should be lessened. But the best thing would be to NOT do so much exercise that you are in pain ? that is NOT good ? you ar over doing it.
