sounds like Plantar Fascitis. I have the same thing. What I usually do when it flares up is and it sounds weird but I write the alphabet with my feet . not with a pen or anything just think of your big toe and a pen and make the movements of each letter of the alphabet. you might have to do it a few times to feel the difference but it works for me. also if you stand on stairs facing up the stairs, put your toes on the edge of the step and slowly lower yourself down so your heels are lower than your toes. it will stretch it out. go slowly and don't bounce.
good luck, i know this hurts.
almost feels like someone has a fork in your heel and is pulling it backwards.

It is possible you have plantar fasciitis.
Located on the bottom of your foot/feet, it is an
inflammation (irritation and swelling) of the plantar fascia, can cause heel pain and make walking difficult. Some risk factors for development of this problem include foot arch problems (both flat foot and high arches), obesity, sudden weight gain, running and a tight Achilles tendon. particular runner’s foot and body type also contribute. On rare occasions, plantar fasciitis can be caused by an acute injury,
Plantar fasciitis typically presents itself as heel pain that is present when you first put your feet on the ground in the morning and after any prolonged period of sitting, such as while riding in a car or after a day sitting at your desk at work or school or watching t.v. During workouts, pain usually subsides somewhat after the foot is warmed-up and then returns afterwards. As symptoms progress, pain is usually more constant and unrelenting.
Plantar fasciitis is most often a chronic problem. It can take weeks, months, and even years for the symptoms of plantar fasciitis to develop.
It is also possible that your sciatic nerve that runs from your back down to your foot could be causing you problems.
Sometimes stretching and certain exercises can help.
Check with a qualified podiatrist to get an evaluation....and the correct route to take.

It depends on what area of the foot hurts, but if it's in the joints of the foot, you could be developing some arthritis. Try taking an over the counter anti-inflammatory such as Motrin. There are many, but be sure to eat before you take them so you won't develop a stomach ulcer. If it gets worse or persists see a doctor. Try Googling 'arthritis' & check out the sites.

There apparently is a catch in one of the joints.. applying pressure by standing on it allows you to become aware of it. When this occurs, there is a bit of edema forms within the joint and it takes very little motion to bring about the discomfort. The mal positioning of the bones is usually the cause.. don't need an injury to bring it about... just standing all day on the job can create it. You may want to work on it a bit and see if your movements will allow it to go back to its proper position. You will find tenderness of the joint, if you press each one separately. Most noticeable on the bottom of the foot.

What part of your foot are you feeling this in? Does it feel like you are stepping on a stone? I posted a podatric site to see if that will help, but I do suggest that you just go to your doctor.
