BEST FOOT FORWARD After hours of physical abuse from constant pounding and tapping, your feet deserve a break! Feet take a constant beating every day and we often blame foot pain on a long day on our feet or shoes with poor support, but foot pain may be caused by other problems in your body that shouldn’t be ignored. Keep tabs on your feet by: • examining them regularly • wearing comfortable shoes that fit properly and offer plenty of support • keeping your toenails trimmed straight across • allowing your feet to air out after being in shoes. Talk to your doctor if you are experiencing: • joint stiffness • tingling or numbness • swelling • discoloration or bruising • inability or limiting of physical tasks due to foot pain.   ■ PINE-RICHLAND ❘ WINTER 2019 37
