Have any of you bought a kitchen gel mat and has it helped.
The kitchen tile floor seems to make my condition worse.
Thanks!
Standing on tile or similarly hard floors is very hard on the feet, especially if you are barefoot. A cushioned mat really does provide immediate relief, whether it’s gel or foam (I don’t notice much difference between them.) You can get similar relief by buying a good pair of slippers with similar padding inside. Also, if you have a touch of arthritis in your feet, the cold of the tile will make it hurt more. Put a cushioned mat in front of your bathroom sink, as well.
