My Aching Feet

My feet have been aching from time to time for a long time.But I have no idea when they started like this. The ache will be reduce after I have a good rest or have a hot feet soak; the ache will be increased after I do even some very light exercises. The ache is localized to the heel and the sole. I have seen the doctor many times, but all of these do not work. I feel so frustrated and have no idea what to do.

Have you seen a podiatrist—a doctor who specializes in feet? If not , I would highly recommend seeing one.

I had the same problem 3 years ago and my doctor diagnosed me with a condition called plantar fasciitis. He said that, in order allow my feet to recover, I should wear very soft shoes all the time, even in the house. I got a pair of soft “recovery shoes” that marathon runners wear after finishing a race and started wearing them inside my home. They are like very thick, soft slides (拖鞋). The brand I use is called Oofos, but there are other brands designed for the same purpose. https://www.oofos.com/ I also got a pair of soft running/walking shoes to wear outside.

I stopped running and switched to activities that didn’t involve carrying a lot of weight on my feet: rowing and bicycling. After wearing the recovery shoes inside and the soft shoes outside constantly for about six months, I was able to start running again without pain, although if I go for a long run or hike—more than 3 hours—my heels will ache the next day. Even now, after three years, I still wear the recovery 拖鞋 indoors all the time and use soft running and hiking shoes.

Thanks so much my dear friend! I saw a podiatrist months ago, he took an X-ray for me and told me there was just some inflammation. Upon consulting on line resources, I figured it was plantar fasciitis.But I have no idea how to make sure. However, I plan to follow your advise and try wearing soft shoes.

I hope it helps you. Good luck!

My feet have been aching from time to time for a long timwhile.

Your sentence was grammatically correct, but it feels more natural to not have "time" three times in one sentence.

But I have no idea when they started like thisto ache.

Because this is a new sentence, it is better to repeat what happened to your feet.

The ache will be reducesubsides after I have a good rest or have a hot feeoot soak; however, the ache will be increased after I do even some veryorsens even after I do light exercises.

"Subsides" is better to use. It means that the ache is still there, but you can't feel it.
No need to repeat "have" twice.
"However" is more natural to have even though your sentence was correct.
The future tense should not be used because you are not making predictions but stating what usually happens.

The ache is localized to the heel and the sole.

Nice vocabulary!

I have seen the doctor many times, but allnone of these do notir advice works.

By "all of these", I am guessing you mean all of the doctors' advice.
I am also guessing that none of their advice works.

I feel sovery frustrated and have no idea what to do.

It is better to use "very" for written English.

Overall, great job! I notice that you have a great vocabulary and punctuation; only your sentence structure needs a little work, but it will come with time. Also, your ache will get better, don't worry.

My feet have been aching from time to timeon and off for a long time.

Use either "on and off for a long time" or simply "from time to time".

But I have no idea'm not sure when ithey started like this.

"I have no idea" sounds like you're talking about something separate from yourself.
"I'm not sure" or "I don't remember" or "I didn't even notice" would be better.

The ache will be reducepain gets better after I have a good rest or have a hot (warm) feet soak; the ache will be increa, but it gets worsed after I do even some very light exercises.

The ache is localized to thein my heels and the soles.

You wrote "feet" earlier, so I'm guessing you mean both sides.

I have seen the doctors many times, but all of these do not work.they couldn't help.

I'm guessing "all of these" refers to the doctors, so I changed it to the plural "doctors".

I feel so frustrated and have no idea what to do (now/next).

Get well soon!
