    What have the doctors said?

    You probably need to stretch your calves (gently) to start with. Try icing your feet after stretching too.

      you can take a polystyrene cup and fill with water - freeze it - it will expand slightly over the top - then hard friction your foot at teh sore parts till the ice melts and peal back some of the cup and keep going - 20 mins at a time

    Susan..see your gp..see if you can get a phsio assessment. Ice and alternate warm foot soakes and google foot exercises and you should find some expert advice. Roll a tennis ball under your foot or a bottle of iced water. Very important to get shoes that work. Not flat.
