I have been experiencing pain in my heel and sole in the mornings but it vanishes after some time. But when I walk for 10-20 minutes, the pain resurfaces. I am 65 years old and have no major health problems. How can I get rid of the pain as I need to walk to digest food.

You may want to look into several conditions that could be causing the pain you are experiencing in your feet.
1. Your blood flow to your feet may be restricted. Check that the socks you are wearing aren't too tight. Cutting blood circulation to your feet can cause this discomfort.
2. Check your blood pressure and look for what appears like grey bruising around your ankles. This is a telltale sign of inadequate blood flow to your feet. If this is the case, try adding heat rubs and including heat therapy to promote a better circulation.
3. Lastly, weight gain can have a negative impact on the health of your feet. Sometimes, dropping a few extra kilos can reduce the discomfort.
