What the reason why your arch falls in your feet?

Question

First off I hope this makes since lol. Because every once and awhile mine falls.Your foot feels like you got gout in your foot it becomes so sore and stiff.

Answer 1

there can be a variety of reasons why you feel this. If you do a great deal of standing or walking this can cause this feeling. You probably need orthopedic supports in your shoes. You can get these from an orthopedic doctor or a chiropractor.

Take a hot bath with 2c. of dissolved Epsom salts. Soak for 30 minutes. The Epsom salts will help eliminate the lactic acid that forms on the muscles from over exertion.

Massage an analgesic cream into the sore muscles. I find the best cream for pain is “Blue Emu,” You can read more about this cream at http://www.blue-emu.com/

Dehydration can cause severe pain in the muscles. I recommend you drink purified water mixed with mineral water 50/50. This will replace the minerals that are exiting your body continuously.

I suggest that adults and children drink 40 ounces of water per 100 pounds of body weight every day. Realize that exercise, ambient temperature, and state of health affect the water needs of your body. One tip for athletes: it is healthier to drink a sports drink or water than fruit juice, soda, coffee, or milk during competition or active training periods.

500mg of calcium and magnesium, taken twice daily, can help with diminishing the pain.

Answer 2

I'm not really familiar with arches dropping and then, all of a sudden, just coming back up. I do know arches fall. Period. And, the reasons for this happening are many. These can include one gaining weight excessively over a short time, injuries, walking barefoot often or wearing shoes which lack adequate arch support.
