What is the reason for pain in the sole of the foot when standing?

You may find that if you have not exercised for a long time and suddenly do strenuous exercise, you will feel soreness in the soles of your feet. This is lactic acid produced by the muscles and will disappear after a few days of rest. Ligament inflammation or ill-fitting shoes can also cause pain in the sole of the foot.

1. Most heel pain is caused by ligament inflammation. The ligaments on the sole of the foot are tightly connected to the bottom of the heel bone. When people walk, huge pulling force is concentrated in a narrow area on the ligament under the heel bone. Repeated pulling and friction can easily lead to inflammation of the junction of the ligament and bone, causing pain.

2. Weight also has a certain relationship with heel pain. Generally speaking, fatter people are more likely to suffer from heel pain.

3. Shoes are one of the main causes of heel pain. The bones, muscles and ligaments of the feet bear the entire body weight of a person, which requires the shoes to fully support the arch of the foot, so that the force on the sole of the foot is evenly distributed and the ligaments are properly relaxed.

4. Excessive foot fatigue. Some people, such as salesmen, have to stand for a long time every day due to work needs. In this case, they can change their standing posture, alternating between leaning forward and leaning backward or occasionally holding on to the counter to relax their foot joints.
