Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The pain in your foot is likely to be due to bad foot wear and prolonged standing. Regular massage of the foot, keeping the foot elevated while resting and using appropriate orthotics can help with your symptoms.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
