According to a womens health fitness magazine survey, some sort of foot pain affects more than 50 percent of women. The most popular culprit is Achilles heel, which is defined as pain over the back of the heel. This is the area where the tendon inserts on the heel bone.
Another type of foot pain that affects women according to a womens health fitness magazine is a bony lump that grows on the outer edge of your big toe. This painful growth is called a bunion. In the womens health fitness magazine explains that the lowest joint becomes misaligned causing the end of the bone to jut out. When this happens, any pressure on the affected area becomes very painful and may even require surgery to correct it.
A foot problem that I think that most of us can identify with is that of having corns and calluses on our feet. The womens health fitness magazine define this sometimes painful ordeal as a raised layer of thick, dead skin that when it appears on your toes it is called a corn. However, when this dead skin appears on the bottom or sides of your feet it is called a callus.
A quick fix for this problem according to a womens health fitness magazine is to gently rub the areas with a pumice tone until the skin begins to turn slightly pink. If you do this once or twice a week you will see a major improvement in the appearance and feel of your feet.
