  • try supportive inserts, like the gel inserts or (if you have high arches) some good arch supporters.

    Somebody on here recommended them to me awhile back and they help tremendously.

    Also- The Body Shop has a peppermint foot lotion that i think i'm addicted to. It works a lot like icyhot for feet.

    Sounds weird, because it IS weird. but you'll like it.

    Failing that, good ol' epsom salts in hot water.

    And they wouldn't hurt so much if you'd stop kicking people.
    • yeah ellem, stop kicking people.
    • tell me more about these inserts
      • they make lots of kinds- the flattish foam kind (which i have found to be worthless) the arch-support kind (which i require and get from a med supply store)some of which are for athletic shoes but can be put into regular shoes as well, and the gel kind, which i have not tried all of. You can get some at the drugstore- but they're likely to be cheap. You can get better ones at med supply stores or at athletic stuff stores. Look for ones that are for walking, or for being on your feet all day. Because most sh
  • I guess it depends on your work environment. For the longest time I wore my Sambas with my khaki work pants when I wore golf/polo shirts on work days.

If asked what you are doing, just say something innocent, like "I'm waiting for a bus", or "Listening to the elves under my desk", or make some remark about how beautiful the patterns are on the ceiling.
    • Usually I discourage people from speaking to me by reminding them that they have not studied the history of psychology and I have and then issuing a vague threat about taking away their email.
  • Have you noticed any water retention, lately?
    Perhaps you're pregnant? :)
  • I have issues with my feet being sore (given that I'm over 300 pounds, am rather active, and spend most of my work day on my feet...). My solution is to elevate my feet when sleeping. Not "a pillow under the ankles" elevation, I mean ELEVATION!

    I pull the foot stool over to the couchlay with my ass against the back of the couch so my head is on the footstool and my legs/feet are basically vertical going up the back of the couch. It's actually VERY comfortable and will alleviate most daily leg/foot aches
