Suggest Remedy For Leg And Feet Swelling

I have pain in the bottom of my left foot from the center towards the heel. It hurts to stand on it or walk. When I am sitting, it doesn t hurt if I rest my leg up on something high. When my leg is down while sitting, it feels like my leg as well as my thigh is starting to swell. I don t keep it down very long at that time because I don t know what will happen.
