Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Could Heaviness And Tired Feeling In Right Foot, Starting Below The Knee If Stood For Long Hours Indicate Heart Or Back Problems?
My right foot feels heavy and tired when I stand it walk on it. It starts right below the knee and goes into foot the most. When I elevate it, it seems to releive it a bit. I work in the restaurant industry, so walking and on feet for 8 hrs at a time. Is it serious? Heart problems, or is it just something to do with my back which I do have problems with, but more on the left lower and middle left side of back
Hi I dont think it has any heart problem. If you doubt heart problem just get ecg done. It is more likely a spine or varicose vein problem. If it gets worse by walking it is more likely to be a varicose vein problem. Still consult your spine surgeon. Get well soon. Thank you.
