Lesion on ball of foot advice needed on foot issuePosted By Sandra (Greenville, N.c., Pitt) on 09/15/2011

When I was younger it would start out as my arches and heels hurting and the longer I was on my feet, the worse it got and I'd have to sit down for a while. I did get arch supports once but they didn't help and if I remember correctly it made my heel pain worse and my arches would cramp up too.
As of now, the pain starts in my heels and then spreads to the rest of the bottoms of my feet. It's hard to explain what it feels like, it's as of my bones are bruised, like I had stomped on a rock.
The longer I'm on my feet the longer it takes for my feet to stop being sore in the days after. If I was out shopping all day and the next morning I get out of bed, my feet are stiff and sore and I sometimes get shooting pains throughout my feet.
I go barefoot 99% of the time (before & now) and that doesn't help. I finally found a pair of sneakers that help keep down the pain somewhat but I haven't found out how to make it go away completely.
Any ideas?
