I experience foot pain upon waking up in the morning or after resting. What medicine or treatment should I take to relieve this?
This type of pain, especially with your first steps in the morning, is commonly caused by plantar fasciitis, an inflammation of the tissue on the bottom of your foot. For relief, try gently stretching your calves and arches before getting out of bed. Applying ice for 15 minutes and wearing supportive shoes can help. For temporary pain relief, over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen or naproxen can be beneficial. Avoid walking barefoot. If the pain persists or worsens after a few weeks of self-care, please consult a doctor or a podiatrist for a proper evaluation.
