* Do these 3 things For Foot Pain possibly due to Nerve pain / Neuropathy * (consult your doctor for foot pain due to injury)
My pain was all on the top of my feet....very painful like stabbing knives. My knees and legs were mild and I don't have diabetes but I didn't want to get worse as I age. So I tried these 3 steps below and noticed a huge improvement within a week or two with just these 3 easy exercises alone!! It's free and natural too!
Today I added dietary changes. My diet's already good but I will cut out wheat and corn. I might have to stubbornly keep coffee with caffeine. I went without it today but I missed it. No headache but still. I'll let you know how it goes.
If you try it, please come back and share your reaction...or sooner if it's working for you that quickly.
1. Curl your toes under your feet, release, and repeat. Do this after you have stretched your legs out straight, and planted your heel with toes up while sitting or laying in bed.
2. Stretch your ankles by using your pointed feet to draw circles to the left, then to the right
3. Stretch your calves (yes it will help your feet) while your legs are still straight and heels planted. Point your feet toward your nose until you feel the pull in your calves. Or stand up and push your 2 hands against a wall, walk your feet back with feet flat until you feel the stretch in your calves. (Don't stretch your calves if you are close to having a DVT...consult doctor)
This can be done as many times as you want for as long as you want, sitting or standing.
Don't forget...Drink lots of water! And wear good shoes! And no more walking all day on a hardwood floor barefoot.
* For Arthritis Pain in Legs * (and for pain in feet too)
All of the above Plus...
Walk if you can...3X a week. If you can't, or just don't feel like it, do this:
Lay flat on your back and lift your knee, one at a time, as close to your chest as is comfortable
...repeat as many times as you can and build up to 25 times or more
* For all pain *...Stop Smoking. Stop Excessive Drinking. Change Your Diet... if you are motivated enough to be pain free.
..I know this is a tough one but it works! There are so many alternatives today that taste great.
NO:
Dairy (try Miyoko's Butter and Forager Organic Dairy-free Sour Cream)
Wheat...try Rye Bread. Read labels (wheat is everywhere but try almond flour etc)
Citrus fruit...try Gala apples and Berries
Corn...try almond flour or cauliflower for pizza crust and tortillas
Caffeine...I know, decaf is bad but try less or weaker regular or switch to tea
Creamer...choose non-dairy or Oat-ly "milk" (with the fat in the darker blue container) or almond "milk"
Meat...try Amy's California Veggie Burgers, Impossible Burgers, baked salmon or cod covered in Panko Crumbs
Sugar...when you get a craving for sweets try 73 percent Dark chocolate (1 serving)
Seasonings help make everything taste good...but watch the salt...do low sodium
