What Does Flex In Feet & Joint Pain Suggest?

Hi, I am on my feet all day for work and a few months ago it really started hurting. It hurts to walk, flex my feet, wiggle my toes… it hurts in the joints and sometimes all the way up to my mid-calf. I thought that getting orthotics would help but they haven t helped at all. What could be wrong? Should I see a doctor or am I overreacting and my feet just tired?

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
Dear HCM user.
I've gone through your question. You are concerned about pain in your feet. You have to stand most of the time during day at your work. What kind of orthotic have you used?
My suggestion depending upon my understanding of your problem is you should use soft silicone insoles inside your footwear or something similar.
Use contrast bath.
Do calf stretching exercises, hamstrings stretching exercises.
Ankle toe curling exercises.
Usually I advise my patients combination of diclofenac, paracetamol and serattiopeptidase for few days. You should consult your doctor and get medicines prescribed. If you do not feel better with these exercises in 2 weeks, then consulting a doctor would be good idea.
