TweetWell i've been out of the gym since the past 3months approx and been working a new job. i'm doing about 12-16hours day but its only for 3 months so i will/am out of the gym for that lenght of time
Problem is, i wake up every morning and have the worst possible pain in my left heal. i have to sit up in my bed and put pressure on my foot for 10-15mins before i can get up! if i do get up without warming up i limp for 10-15mins! what the **** is going on? i'm thinking maybe my shoes but i changed shoes and notting! its not an injury cuz i would of remember that! it actually happened before when i was on gh so maybe its water retention? i'm not using any gear since 4 months cuz i'm not training at this time due to my schedule with work.
I'm basicly just looking for opinions or maybe possible solution from someone with same problem.
Thanks everyone for taking the time to read and i will be back in the gym in the middle of september. i'm still holding my mass at 260lbs but lost the muscle pump i will be back BETTER AND HARDER

TweetMy guess is you are either tight somewhere in your foot muscles or the tendons to yoru calves. My reason for this thinking is if you warm it up it lo longer hurts. The solution could be a few things. First, you mayneed to resort to a shoe with a higher arch support. If your shoes have poor acrh supports they can, with time, start to cause your feet to flatten out and that can cause some pain. This is what happened to me. I play flag football every fall and the cleates used to cause the exact same thing in me until I put a padded insole with arch supports. Now, no probs. If it's one of your calf tendons then I suggest you just start stretching them at night to see if it helps. But in all honesty, if you are on your feet at work that long I would bet anything it's the arch support. You can go to a place like Sports Authority and get a top quality padded sole with arch support for around $20. These last a long long time before they need to be replaced.

Also, at night before bed, take a tennis ball and roll it around under your foot for a bout 5 minutes each foot. That will loosen up all your foot muscles before you go to bed. You may need more than 5 minutes but start with that for now. Do it while watching tv or eating dinner or something. This is great for keeping the foot muscles stretched out and loose. This will allow them to move more without causing discomfort to you. But you should still get the arch support. As far as shoes go, New Balance has the best support of any tennis shoe. Nike is probably the worst.

Tweet^ I've also heard using a can of soda...similar to the tennis ball....for the stretching exercise.

I use golf balls, smaller so they can get into every muscle in your foot better. Be careful though, the 1st time I tried it I did it too long and it caused pain in my feet the next day, maybe loosening up all those foot muscles and they got pissed. Ha.

TweetDude I've got the same problem but I get them in both my heels. It's real sore to walk for the first few minutes but after they warm up there's no pain for the rest of the day. My best advice is to point your toes forward as far as they go, and hold that, then point them towards you as far as they go, then hold that. Do that a few times and that should stretch them good. Do that everyday when you wake up and it should make things more tolerable.

If you do some research many basketball players get it.

It's either heel spurs or that thing that bball players get. look it up.
