sore heel any advice

If it's plantar faciitis (i'm waiting on a pdiatry appt for this) then my foot saver tip is to wear slippers with support round the house isntead of going barefoot. Do the exercises too, they do help. I wear sandals in the hosue that have shaping round my inner arch, and that really helps. Some days though I get out of bed and shuffle down the stairs like an 80yo even though I'm not 40 yet!

My husband had an aching heel for several weeks, then the toes of this leg began growing numb. In the result, it turned out that he had a hernia in his vertebra and all these aches were symptoms of this hernia.

Keep the insoles in for as long as possible - it can come back if you aren't 100% and allow your ankle to drop in. If you look at the vast majority of the UGG wearers (and 99% of the Primark type ones), their ankles drop in (pronate is the techy word, I think). They will be most likely to get this without having to exercise first. It's horrible, so do all the things right first - the Scholl inserts (£22) have been enough for me, or I wouldn't have been able to walk for months. However, I didn't realise why exactly it was hurting at first so tried normal cushioned insoles and painkillers. After a partially effective steroid injection into the side of my foot, I decided I was going to make darn sure I didn't make it worse.

Ice - not heat on the foot. freeze a small palstic bottle of water and then roll under your foot.

Stretch the muscles gently. No walking round barefoot. Review the shoes you wear. Should all be supportive / have something holding your foot in - trainers / straps or laces so your foots, not having to overcompensate to try and keep you in. No flats, court or ballet pump type shoes.

Good luck.
