Aching In The Feet When Lying Down. Disappears When Walking. Reason?
When I lie down in bed every night both my feet ache in the instep areas, I turn on my right side the left foot gives me pain I turn to the left my side right foot gives me pain. Lying on my back some times eliminates the pain, it takes me a long time before I eventually go to sleep. Interesting enough when I stand up and walk around the pain disappears. Look forward to your comments

Hello,
Spinal canal stenosis is one condition which will have a similar clinical presentation.
In this condition spinal cord is compressed due to the narrowing of the spinal canal.
This produces pain.
Due to postural change the compression is released and the pain disappears.
You need MRI of the spinal cord.
Consult an orthopedician.
