Causes of pain on the outside of the foot

Generally speaking, the reasons for pain on the outside of the feet after pregnancy are probably as follows:

Reason one may be due to plantar fascia strain. Some expectant mothers suddenly walk or move for a long time during pregnancy, as well as repeated overload, which may cause plantar fascia strain and cause pain on the outside or sole of the foot.

The second reason may be due to changes in hormones in the body, which lead to pathological pain in the nerves. When the pain occurs, it is often accompanied by lightning, numbness, and tingling sensations.

Reason three may be caused by calcium deficiency. Due to the increased demand for calcium after pregnancy, if there is a moderate calcium deficiency, it will cause symptoms such as foot pain and calf cramps.

What to do if the outside of your foot hurts

1. Choose more comfortable shoes. If you are still working during pregnancy, do not wear high heels. It is best to choose flat shoes with softer soles, otherwise your feet will be tired and easily cause pain.

2. Pay more attention to rest, avoid standing for long periods of time or continuous walking, especially do not walk with weight, as that will put more pressure on the feet.

3. You can soak your feet in aged vinegar every night before going to bed to relieve fatigue. You don’t need to soak your feet for too long each time, about half an hour is enough.

4. You can ask your husband to help massage your feet at night. This can relieve foot pain symptoms and promote blood circulation in the feet.

The above is an introduction to the problem of pain on the outside of the foot. Women who have this problem can try these methods.
