Standing on your feet is very hard on the muscles of your body. If you can make a slant board the size of your body and put one end on a chair or sofa and the other end on the floor. Lay with your legs up for fifteen to 30 minutes. This will really help your circulation.
Take a hot bath with 2c. of dissolved Epsom salts. Soak for 30 minutes. The Epsom salts will help eliminate the lactic acid that forms on the muscles from over exertion.
Massage an analgesic cream into the sore muscles. I find the best cream for pain is “Blue Emu,” You can read more about this cream at http://www.blue-emu.com/
Dehydration can cause severe pain in the muscles. I recommend you drink purified water mixed with mineral water 50/50. This will replace the minerals that are exiting your body continuously.
I suggest that adults and children drink 40 ounces of water per 100 pounds of body weight every day. Realize that exercise, ambient temperature, and state of health affect the water needs of your body. One tip : it is healthier to drink a sports drink or water than fruit juice, soda, coffee, or milk.
500mg of calcium and magnesium can help with the pain.

When I've been on my feet the whole day, the moment i reach home, I usually soak my feet in warm water for 15-20mins. It makes my feet feel better. The next day, the pain will disappear.
But if you really have to be on your feet whole day often, wear comfortable shoes. If heels are mandatory, wear heels which is only 0.5-1.5inches high. Anything higher than that is very bad for your feet.

If the pain is bad enough to interfere with your desired lifestyle you'd best consider a different set of day-long activities..like a different job if that's why you are on your feet all day.

I was suffering from the same thing. Luckily, my next door neighbor is a foot doctor. He got me a relatively expensive pair on inserts to go into my shoes and they are awesome! I'd almost rather wear my work boots than dress shoes. Don't waste your time on the doctor scholls stuff. Bite the bullit and get this taken car of.
You'll be glad you did, I promise.

buy better shoes, soak your feet, find a job where you don't use your feet so much, stand on a flooring that is more ergonomic, invest in better socks, get a massage, see a chiropractor, take advil/alleve, talk to your doctor......
