Has anyone been to see a podiatrist and have they given you exercises and hot and cold treatment suggestions? I have been doing this religiously because the pain has been immense. It has actually worked a little enough for me to function better. ***always check with your physician pain management team or GP first before trying*** Sitting down, feet flat on the floor, and gently roll your feet forwards heel up, and then roll your foot back heel down and toes up towards the ceiling. My pain is caused by my back issues. I do it sitting on my bed, the toilet, settee anywhere I can. He also gave me heel raise supports and even though they hurt my back it is helping my foot pain. I use a foot spa for the warmth and take my feet out and out the cold compress on feet for like 30 seconds then put them back on the warm water. It tingles really bad at first but stick with it, it stops (do not exceed your pain threshold if it hurts too much take your feet out of the water immediately) and Picture is also the cold compress I got from Amazon. Just wanted to share these with you if it helps. Just do it gently and carefully. DO NOT HOT WATER USE WARM WATER!!!
