What Causes Painful And Stiff Feet?
Hi, After sitting on the floor, on my knees and feet, my feet get painful and stiff for few minutes. It s been happening for a few months already. What might be the reason and what I can do about it (aside from not sitting on my feet ;-) Thank you in advance, Rose

Hello,
Painful stiff feet on sitting on the floor is commonly due to limited movement, sedentary lifestyle, bruising, due to hard physical work, sprains or strains, developing neurological problems. You are suggested to do stretch exercises to prevent muscle stiffness & improve circulation.
Take warm baths, massage sore areas. Do thigh, neck, lower back exercises. Maintain healthy weight if obese. Always maintain correct posture while sitting or standing. Take healthy diet, stay well hydrated. Take fruits, veggies, whole food grains, food rich in calcium, magnesium, nuts, dark leafy veggies. Get nerve conduction tests done to stay on the safer side.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
