First try arch supports in your shoes which you can pick up at the local drug store. Dr. Scholls dynasteps offer good support. Also stretch the foot by using a cold can of soda - put it on the floor and roll it back and forth using the bottom of your foot for 5 minutes each night. Don't buy cheap shoes - cheap shoes means they have less support built in - you get what you pay for when it comes to shoes. If none of this helps then you may need custom inserts for your shoes and you should see a podiatrist.

well, the answers given so far are both great. I used to work fast food, so sitting was not really an option. One thing I did find for just a quick fix, is sit in a chair where you can be really comfortable and still have your legs able to touch the floor. Take a tennis ball and just roll your feet (one at a time) on top of the tennis ball. It is just like a foot massage, but you control what parts the ball goes to, and how much you want to push down on it. At least 5 min on each foot should make a world of difference! This works really well on the arches too!

Prior answers are all good.Have you tried using cushioned inserts like the new GEL type? Also try rotating or alternating your shoes every 2-3 days to see if that helps. And the obvious....buy a new pair of shoes. Different style, heel height (if you wear high heel....stop wearing high heels if you are using them now. As for the stinging...try using vitamins A,E, C & D. Also consider a potasioun (K) supplment.

you should fairly positioned money right into a pair of flatter footwear. whether, they make gel pads in recent times surprisingly for heels. attempt Dr. Shcoll's for her* pads. this could basically help the backside of your ft, no longer the proper being squeezed. heavily, get some flatter footwear. you're pregnant.

I would highly recommend that you see a podiatrist. He/she can check the way you stand, your gait (how you walk), and your general foot structure. They might prescribe orthotics...supports that go into your shoes (or special shoes) and support the arch of your foot.

all good answers. i knew a woman who worked on her feet all day,and had the same problem. she was told to buy nurses shoes,and that took care of her problem. never buy cheap shoes, you'll pay for it later.
good luck.
