My foot hurts worse after working for a few days in a row. Pain subsides when I am off of it for a few days.

couple things come to mind. possible metatarsalgia which is an irritation of the tissues b/w the bones of the foot. This would be aggravated by activity. Could be also a neuroma, which is swelling of the nerve between the toes. However this often happen more to the middle of the foot than the outer edge. Also could be a joint problem, which can often happen on the outer aspect of the foot. If you go to the outside of the foot and hit your ankle bone, then slide down further to the bottom of your foot, just in front on that is a small bony protuberance. There is a joint right near hear associated with the metatarsal bone. If this is the source of your pain then go see your chiropractor.
All of the above will respond to ice application. 10 min on, then 10 off, and of course a chiropractor can always help you. Orthotics may be indicated if this is a reoccuring problem due to faulty mechanics.
oh yeah, another thing could be a stress fracture, assuming you have not had a severe trauma. Stress fractures may not show up right away on xray. There are a couple easy things to do to diagnose this. Rest is your big fixer here, as well as correcting mechanics if that is a causitive factor.

Your shoes may be the culpret. I'm on my feet 16 hours a day, and I have specially made shoes. Try inserting Dr. Sholl's Gel Inserts into a pair of comfy but cute shoes. They work wonders. (I am so gellin)

You should get an X-ray. Hopefully, it's a bone problem that can be solved. Cartilage and nerve issues are much harder to solve.
