How long does it take heel pain to go away after wearing the wrong kind of flip flops?
If your pain lasts more than a day or so, having returned to sensible cushioning shoes and allowed your body effective rest and healing, then you should seek the advise of a medical professional or Podiatrist. A medium or longer term pain might be a foreign body or splinter, a fat pad or bone bruising, plantar facsiitis or Achillees tendinitis. Diagnosis requires a clear history of the problem, palpation of the area and careful observation of any signs of infection (redness, heat, pain, swelling or pus).

Why does heat help sore muscles?
To relieve the pain of sore muscles, first use ice to reduce swelling. Heat, once pain has peaked, helps speed recovery by improving circulation. Massage and pain-relieving rubs may help. But if you want to become a runner, you may need to accept some soreness as a natural part of the conditioning process. After your muscles recover, they actually should be stronger. Tearing and repairing is what gets you in shape and allows you eventually to run further and faster. One way to avoid sore muscles is not to do too much too soon. That's why coaches recommend that people new to running begin slowly.
Why would a heating pad make my cramps worse?
Another side effect of endometriosis is dysmenorrhea. I have had dysmenorrhea ever since i started menstruating. Dysmenorrhea is just really bad cramps. It's not the heating pad that is making it worse, it's a chemical being released in your endometrius called prostaglandins. When there is an excess amount of this then you will have more painful cramps. The more prostaglandins = more pain. The less prostaglandins= the less pain. A heating pad will only be but so useful, but i encourage you to use it throughout your cycle. The heat decreases inflammation and soothes the internal muscles which cramp. Take naproxen or ibuprofen 2 days before your period. Those are anti-prostaglandins and they will decrease the pain. As stated before the less prostaglandins= the less pain. Common brands include: motrin and aleve. These are the only two i personally recommend. Laying in the fetal position or where your knees and head meet on a non-elevated surface will help. Stay away from chicken; don't have salt before your period, and drink plenty of water.
Ice Pack or Heat Pack?
Ice pack are usually best to keep swelling down, reduce inflammation, helps w/itching and bruising. Heat packs good to soothe aching, sore, tight areas. My dad has lower back problems, and heat packs work best for him. I'd try them both to see what works best for you, but I'm guessing that heat will loosen up the tension in your back best.
Bruising from Heating Pad?
They aren't bruises, they are burns. They may not go away depending on how bad they are. If you continue to use the heat pad you may eventually develop blisters and more nasty scars. I know that heat pads help with pain, stiffness and spasms, but they need to be used in moderation. I'd give it about a month and then start using it again, but only for 15 minutes or so at a time 3 times a day. You can consult a dermatologist for advice on minimizing the burns.
Can a heating pad settle nausea at all?

What helps period cramps go away faster?
For me, personally, it hasn't been medication, it's been water. Since I first got my period when I was 10, I've always had horrible horrible cramps. Like, In bed for the first two days of every period because I can't even stand up because of the pain. Spending hours daily crying from my cramps. And when I had to be put on hormone meds because of some health problems, my Cramps just got worse.But because of my hormone meds, it's given me really dry mouth so I started drinking a lot of water, like A LOT of water. And about a year ago, I had been drinking almost 100 oz of water a day. One month last year, a few days before my period was supposed to start, I was drinking even more water than that. When I got my period, I didn't have any cramps. Usually the first two days are the worst and I spend all day In bed for cramps. But for the first time since In 11 years, I hadn't had any cramps at all the whole duration of my period. It was crazy.So I drank that much water the following month before and during my period, and I had no cramps again.So I decided to test my theory, and I didn't drink that much water the following month and I had really bad cramps again. Like In bed and couldn't move, type of cramps.So now I drink like a ton of water before I start my period. More water than I normally drink during the day. And when I stay on top of drinking water, I get very little to no cramps. When I don't drink as much water, I get cramps.I barely have to take midol anymore when I'm on my period. I just drink water non stop during the day.
