Question : Spent a 5-6 hours standing on a concrete floor. Now have severe pain and slight swelling on the top of one foot and moderate discomfort, no swelling on top of the other just above the toes. Not sure what to do. Ibuprofen hardly makes a dent.

What is the diagnosis and how did this happen?
