How To Treat An Aching Leg When Standing, Sitting And Lifting?

I have an ache in my lower left leg. It is worse when standing but goes when sitting and leg lifted. Also when standing it goes when running shoes are worn inside the apartment. I wonder if this is caused by walking on the hardwood and concrete floors.

Hello,

Thanks for writing to us,

I have studied your case.

You may be suffering from plantar fascitis.
It is advisable to wear low heel shoe to maintain centre of gravity of whole body.
Shoe/footwear should be with soft sole. You can use silicon pad insoles.
You should not walk bare foot at home also.
Avoid exposure of cold to foot.

Start plantar exercises consulting physiotherapist also Physiotherapy like TENS and ultrasound will help. Some times tapping to foot may also help to relieve pain.
