My feet are killing me.

Larry and draw I totally agree but the first area I meant to address was if it is caught early a change of personal habits, shoes, self education and some home therapy is the ounce of prevention instead of a pound of cure.
Second and most importantly: If you go for medical help and are told this will knock it right out ,and it does, that did not make you supper man. After those repercussions regular medication can begin and all of that just masks the real problem if you keep doing more, or the same. That may be a sign you are at the wrong place.
Where to find advise: On the internet because everything there is true, we are here. Maybe just go to the nearest run for cancer, make a donation, and ask some of the serious runners some questions. They can tell you the best place to go in your area and you can right it off your taxes while helping someone else.
Some points: High dollar shoes were a waste of my money. Fill a 2 litter pop bottle 90% full and put it in the freezer, cap loose the first time. If your feet really hurt from PF it helps, 20 min. noon and night if you can. Sleep with your feet above your heart. Just suggestions to try. Regular exercises are a must.
Feet are like faces, few are actually the same. I am glad I was not directed to the room with the steaming stainless tank and a turkey cooker thermometer.

 

Yes, a second opinion would be my first action. Blood clots can be formed for us drivers just from the position we are in all the time. Stroke, heart attacks. The symptoms you describe are definitely blood flow restictions. So that second opinion might save your life. And your never to young to die.

 

First, check with your doctor.
I have my seat all the way down, but I'm short ...5'4". Used to be 5'7". :0(
Low seat makes sure the edge of the seat doesn't push on my legs.
Since my feet swell during the day, I wear shoes a half size bigger, and also move my legs around. If I don't think about it, I'll not move for hours, not good.
I also try to park in the furthest corner of the parking lot, then I have to walk. Also, I like to stretch a lot. Bodies are made to move, not stay still. Trucking and sitting at a computer all day doesn't help.
Good luck.

 

You deffinately need the right shoes.for comfort and your body you need to spend a little bit rather then buy cheap.

 

Every driver should flex the calf mucles about every 45 minutes or so while driving down the road. Takes a few minutes and keeps the blood flowing.

 

Compression socks might be a good idea also if you are having swelling in the legs.

Don't know if you read this post or not, he had a problem with severe cramps;
