Foot pain

[jeff621]

After sitting or lying down, even driving a car for a period of time, my feel get extremely painful, especially in the area between the ball of the foot and the heel. the heel never gets sore. It takes up to 2 hours of walking about before the pain subsides, but it returns as soon as I sit again. The pain almist feels as if someone has taken a knife and shredded the bottom of my feet. It is the same in both feet.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Plantar fasciitis, arthritis of small joints, diabetic neuropathy, hypothyroidism, high blood pressure, over weight, deep vein thrombosis, wrong foot wear, gout, etc are a few causes of foot pain.
Do discuss this with your doctor and get yourself examined. You may need to consult an orthopedic specialist and get X-ray and maybe MRI of the feet, nerve conduction studies, blood glucose examination etc. Take care!

There may be two things going on, one....bad circulation and two.... being low on B vitamins. I have had the same problem caused by sitting too much for long periods of time.

Perhaps you could try taking  a vitamin B complex that contains at least 50mg  to 100mg. Also Vit. C..  A good vit. C to try is Camu Camu. It comes in powder form, I  put it into empty capsules as I find the taste too strong in my smoothies. You can read up on it on the internet.
