While still lying down in bed I let my legs, from the knee down, dangle off the bed and wiggle, twist and turn my feet before getting up. This seems to get some circulation going before standing up. Not perfect, but better.

I vibrate my feet with a commercial vibrator…Jeanie Rub.

@sikocesca My mom has this problem with neuropathy and foot deformity so she cannot stand on her feet at all without shoes. She got shoes for diabetics ordered from her podiatrist. Here is the link to Dr. Comfort Shoes. https://www.drcomfort.com/

Birkenstock makes an EVA sandal in their Arizona style. I now have them in pink and black and wear them year round, even in the frigid Northeast.

Painful heels when getting out of bed in the morning kept me from work for six weeks. I was actually crawling on my hands and knees at home. My doctor when I finally went, diagnosed plantar fascitis and had me wear a type of splint at night to keep my feet from dropping while I slept. I had to wear them every night for about six months. It was awkward but it worked. I’ve kept the splints and immediately put them on with any sign of foot pain. Splints in specific shoe insoles for plantar fascitis might help you. Wishing you well
