What Causes Muscle Ache On Feet And Toes?

default
Posted on Mon, 10 Nov 2014
Question: Why after working only lightly (cleaning house, being on my feet) does my muscles ache so bad it is painful to get up and down? Sometimes my toes and feet will cramp. And my ankles will swell and the bottom of my feet hurt. But truly I haven't worked that hard! Or I will shop and push a cart thru Wal-Mart and Sam's and this same thing will happen. My body will feel sore for a day or two. It just doesn't seem normal for someone my age!

Get investigations done.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have read your query.

You should try to avoid prolong standing and walking as you can.

Wear sports shoes whenever possible as they are soft from coushion.

Get your fasting serum uric acid, E.S.R, RA factor quantitative, fasting blood sugar levels done and send me the report.

Do calf and foot muscle strengthening exercises as uploaded on youtube.

Apply hot packs for 30 mins in morning and evening.

Take aceclofenac + thiocochicoside combination three times a day.

I hope it helps.

Thanks.

Dr.Singh.
