Why do I have throbbing feet when I go to bed?
Asked 4 years ago
Almost every night when I go to bed, I feel this throbbing ache in my feet. Its not so bad that I'm wanting to seek medical attention, but it is quite weird. Does anyone know why this could be the case?

It happens because too much pressure on your feet can cause tiny tears in ligaments. When the plantar fascia is injured due to inflammation or improper use or stiffness, it often causes foot pain at night. This condition is called Plantar Fasciitis.
During the night, your plantar fascia may shorten, causing sharp, dull, or throbbing pain in the bottom of your foot near the heel.
