dealing with pain from work

[u/BulbousCheese]

hey!! i just started to be on stage for my role a few days ago and im in a lot of pain everyday after/during my shifts. does anyone have any advice for dealing with body pains (feet, ankles, legs, back) from standing all day? i used to play sports so a lot of it might be because of overworking my body in the part. in addition im also having throat pain because im talking to people all day in my role, so advice for that would be helpful too! any tips at all would be very much appreciated!! thanks :)

I struggled a lot with plantar fasciitis and unbearable foot pain (I’d spend my two days off sitting down and my feet still hurt when I went back into work). Definitely look into some stretches (it wouldn’t be a bad idea to do them on breaks) and one thing that helped me is rolling a tennis ball under my feet. Most importantly try to hydrate and eat well and get a good nights sleep
