Since a few weeks my heels pain a lot, mostly jab subah uthti hu first step me. Im in 7th month and weight bhi badh gaya hai. Anyone got relief from this? kya karu samajh nahi aa raha.
Beta, try rolling a warm glass bottle or a tennis ball under your foot while sitting down, it relieves the tightness. Also, never walk barefoot on hard floors at home, always wear soft home slippers. Massage your feet with warm mustard oil before sleeping.
Heel pain can be so frustrating when you are already dealing with so many physical changes, I completely get your pain. Your body is carrying extra weight and hormones are loosening your ligaments. Try putting your feet in warm water with rock salt, it really helped calm my nerves and the ache.
I researched this heavily when my heels started throbbing in the third trimester. My doctor explained that the relaxin hormone flattens our arches slightly, leading to plantar fasciitis. She advised doing gentle calf stretches and wearing arch-support footwear instead of flat sandals.
Instead of spending money on expensive foot massagers or therapies, just buy a cheap pair of soft orthopedic slippers for home use. It made a huge difference for my heel pain. Also, soaking your feet in warm water with salt costs almost nothing and works wonders.
