I am a nurse assistant working in a 7 hours duty, after my duty I have too much painful legs and feet.When I go up in my room I always put my feet above my 2 pillows but still it did nt lessen the pain I m suffering...what is the best I can do?I hate taking pain relievers.
Hello, I think your legs are having an overuse muscle injury. Your metabolism is slowing down and there is a lack of energy for the limb.  Keeping on the pillow might help on a symptomatic basis. But over a broad aspect, I think you should start the aerobic exercise to improve your overall fitness levels.  Also, on the job front, I would advise you to not stand continuously but keep walking and once in a while sitting.  If you continue this unhealthy lifestyle for longer you may land up having knee pain, back pain and varicose veins.  You are the nurse, and should be the first one to be selfish for your own health. My advice is to begin the exercise now. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Jay In Chat Doctor.
