Suggest Remedy For Pain In Top Of Feet

I have moderate to severe pain in the tops of my feet especially after driving or sitting for 30 minutes or more. It take me a while to walk once I stand. The pain is pretty much always there. At first I thought arthritis so I have done more exercising (walking), that has not helped so I thought perhaps gout and have been trying to stay away from pork, broccoli and eating more dark cherries. That is not helping either. With or without shoes makes no difference. Ibuprofen seems to help some.

Hi,
Thanks for your query.
According to your description , pain over your top of feet seems to be inflammatory in nature. It could be an acute attack of gout.
I advice you to give you rest to the part affected, take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin 1tablet with food as and when required (upto 4 tablets daily) to reduce pain and inflammation and consult your doctor for thorough examination and rule out any infective cause.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
