Sharp Pain under my Feet in the Morning

[deenosaur]

Hello Doctor,

I've got a sharp pain when I first wake up in the morning and put my feet on the ground. This happens for the first couple of steps (sayu 20 steps).

This sometimes happens when I get out of the lavatory or have sat on a chair for too long. I tend to move, so I don't think its just the "pins and needles" symptom of blood circulation.

FYI, I'm a Male Asian, 36 years old. My weight is 99kg and my height 1.74m. I've got no known medical problems, but my paternal grandfather has diabetes and a heart condition, my dad has had 2 stents done.

I have the same problem as you am fine once I get going . I'm female not over weight older than you and do have hypertension and a family history of diabetis hope it's not that.  Maybe some one will have a better answer for both of us.



            Lets hope for the best.

I have the same thing, dealed with it for several months, so  I went to the doctor did some foot xrays doc said that I have heel spurs, so i  bought a good pair of shoes and got some good arch supports and now they are better. It did take a couple months to feel better, But i can relate with you if it is the same thing as my pain. I felt like I was 90 years old when I would get up from bed or get up from sitting in the chair. also it does help to point you toes up and down a few times to streach that foot muscle before trying to get up it really helps and works. also I am female, 5'11 and weigh 190 if that helps you out any, hope I helped yopu out...
