How Can Pain And Swelling In The Heels Be Treated?

I recently started a job that requires me to stand for 8 hours (2 breaks) a day. I have good Naturalizer shoes but I have swelling and soreness in my right heal. I am 56 years old and have never had to stand so long before. How can I stop the pain and swelling? Thank you Catherine

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to plantar fasciitis. Better to have a consultation with orthopedician and x ray examination to rule out possibility of bony spurs. ice pack application,taking ibuprofen(advil) will be helpful.
Hope this may help you.
Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
