what is the best thing to do for tired achy feet?

Question

I work 3rd shift and hve only been doing so for a month. I was a stay at home mom for 10 yrs. so this is a major adjustment for me, and my feet really hurt.

Answer 1

First....get yourself some really good shoes. Walking shoes, running shoes...anything as long as they're comfortable and supportive. Spend the extra money...it's totally worth it. It'll take a little time for your feet to adjust....until then my favourite thing is filling the bathtub with about an inch or so of hot water and soaking my feet. Add some nice scent to it...or they sell foot soak at walmart.

And then get your husband to rub them. :)

Answer 2

Soaking them in hot salt water. Nothing feels better than this. They also have those foot massager soaking machines. Put on a nice peppermint cream afterwards.

Answer 3

Try taking a nice long nap. If that is not a possibly, go to a local convenience store and buy one of those foot baths with massage, that helps a lot =)

Answer 4

I dont know what kind of shoes you wear for work but you might try changing shoes half way through your shift or finding shoes that are more comfortable.

The whole epsom salt thing works too. :)

Answer 5

I would suggest a pedicure. They make your feet feel wonderful. Depending on where you live they can be very low cost. You can get one here in California for about $25.

Answer 6

I have elastic arch supports that help my feet. CVS pharmacy is where I got them (I think). Elevate them and try a hot bath with epsom salt.

Answer 7

put them in warm water with some salts, if you have. then massage them with some baby oil or a special cream that helps with tired feet. good luck with your new job!

Answer 8

Soak them in Epsom Salts.* True*

Answer 9

Rest your feet. Soak your feet in cold water.. You would feel very relax and your feet would stop aching. :)

Answer 10

let me massage them
