I could help you more if I had some details. Is the pain in the arch, heel, or top of foot. Is your foot cramping? Does it only hurt when you walk. In the meantime, try massaging it with a golf ball. Put the ball on the floor and roll the ball around with the arch of your foot. If your foot is swollen, ice it for 10 to 20 minutes. If it is not swollen, soak it in hot water with epsom salts.

I would see a neurologist, but then again, only 4 weeks have passed. I had carpal tunnel VERY BAD....due to swelling, the nerve was compressed. It hurt me for 2 MONTHS after my cesarean. Feet swell a lot too, so it could still be a transient problem that will go away eventually. Better to be safe though. At least call the obgyn. You'll want to deal with the hospital if it turns out the anesthesiologist caused nerve damage. It does happen. My gut tells me that your pain will subside in a couple months.

plantar fasciitis~is inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thin layer of tough tissue supporting the arch of the foot. Repeated microscopic tears of the plantar fascia cause pain. Using an ice pack or ice bath on the area for about 15 minutes may relieve pain and inflammation after exercise and work. Massaging the foot in the area of the arch and heel before getting out of bed may help. Stretching is also important.
As reported in one study, 83% of patients in a stretching program were successfully treated for plantar fasciitis; 29% of study participants cited stretching as the most helpful treatment, compared with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, orthotics, ice, heat, steroid injection, heel cups, walking, night splints, plantar strapping and shoe changes.
~*Stretching and Strengthening *~
To reduce pain and help prevent future episodes of discomfort, stretch the calves on a regular basis. Stand with your hands against a wall. With one foot forward and one back, press against the wall, shifting weight over the front foot, while straightening the back leg. Keep the heel of the back foot on the floor and feel the stretch in the heel, Achilles tendon and calf. Then, switch legs.~

i never had such pain in my feet until i got this. the dr said it was caused by my having really high arches and he made me these little arch supports to wear for a few weeks and then magically, it went away.

you aren't giving a lot of details. when you say uneasy do you mean unstable or pain in the foot when walking? i would go to this wonderful web site, myfootshop.com, it offers educational articles that describe different conditions of the foot and ankle and also some OTC products to help out with your foot problem. Good luck!

Could be a number of reasons, depending on where the pain is. Might be a heel spur as those are pretty common. Could also be related to back misalignment. Go see your doctor or chiropractor before it gets worse. No sense in walking around in pain.

It could be that you are wearing the wrong shoes or maybe you are up walking too much with little rest. I'm pretty sure that in your case, it's wearing the wrong shoe.

If it is localised in the big toe area you could have gout.
Or you could have broken a small bone.
