Have Pain At Top Of Feet Especially When Sitting With Feet Relaxed. Cause?
I HAVE A PAIN ACROSS THE TOP OF MY FEET, WHEN I AM STANDING, PUTTING WEIGHT ON THE FEET THEY ARE THEY ARE FINE, IF I SIT WITH MY FEET RELAXED, YET NOT FLAT ON THE FLOOR THAT IS WHEN I FEEL THE PAIN MOST. I ALSO WAKE UP CONSTANTLY DURING THE NIGHT HAVING TO PULL MY FEET UPWARDS, AS IT IS JUST SO UNCOMFORTABLE AND PAINFUL IF THEY ARE RELAXED.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The pain that you feel when you are off your feet is likely to be due to plantar fasciitis. This can also happen due to flat feet. You need to consult an orthopedician for proper orthotics, pain killers and shoe inserts.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
