Dr. Lanie K. Huffman's Expert Contributions
Why do my feet hurt every time I run?
Some people get pain in their feet when running from an exercise induced increase in compartment pressure near their tarsal tunnel. (More blood pumping and muscle fullness in that area) Some just from poor foot biomechanics. A simple fix can be to wear knee high compression socks snd possibly add in an orthotic or arch support to reduce the pressure in that area. It is important to see a local podiatrist to get the right diagnosis and treatment plan as this is a very general question and response. Sent from my Sprint Samsung Galaxy S8. READ MORE
