hello
The site of pain and history of pain on bare feet point towards dropped arch of foot or even flat foot, cause could be neurogenic or long standing musculo-ligamentous.Consult a podiatrist/orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment.In meantime wear raise foot wear as it maintains the arch somewhat and takes pressure off the muscles and small foot jints and ligaments. I deally, a orthopedist after diagnosis, refers to a physical therapist and orthotics specialist for designing specially raise sole on inner or outer side of feet as per necessity in a selective measure depending on amount of loss in arch.Its necessary you do hot fomentation, tip-toe exercises, walking bare foot on sand and on inclined surface, pinch your toes and do ankle exercises.Take mild pain meds like tylenol or advil.
