Hi Doctors,
I'm on a mission trip in a foreign country, wearing my barefoot sandals for everything, as I always do. I've developed some pain in the bottom of my heels. I'm fairly certain it's from the sheer volume of walking I'm doing (frequently on uneven cobblestones), and standing for 2-hour concerts. I'm definitely more back on my heels when I walk, though I'm trying hard not to. My feet are also very swollen. I spent about 45 minutes lying on the floor of the bus with my feet in the seat last night, and my feet are a little better, but still swollen. What can I do to take care of my feet better while I'm here? I've got another 5 days, with 2 more concerts, lots more walking and the plane ride home. I'm trying to be careful of how I walk, and elevating my feet when I can for the swelling. Other things I can try???
Thank you!
