How To Treat Severe Pain In Foot After Standing For Long Hours?
Im on my feet all day at work and sometimes it is only a 4hr shift. But my feet really starts to hurt on a pain level of 7-8. The ball of my feet, toes and arch are in such pain I start to limp! Could it be as I grow older I am losing the cushion on my feet?

The pain you're experiencing after standing for long hours - could be cramps. You could be developing Varicose veins. Have them checked by a surgeon in person. If yes , stockings will help.
Secondly you can also try to get your feet up for a few minutes every 1 or 2 hours and stretch them properly to prevent muscle and ligament injury.
If you are obese then weight loss will help.
