Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain In The Arch Of The Foot

After being on my feet and going up and down stairs numerous times on Thanksgiving, I am having sever pain in the arch of my left foot. It lets up when I lay down or keep my feet up; however, when I first stand up I have a great deal of difficulty walking. I have to use a cane as I can t put weight on my foot.
