hallo dear friend
i hv studied your case
is there swelling over foot ,tenderness at perticular point
you should take Xray foot and rule out any fracture
give ice pack fomentation
take some analgesic and anti inflammatory [enoflam sv]
if there is no fracture pain will subside in one week
take calcium suppliment
check your uric acid and blood sugar
for further query contact on drvaibhavg@yahoo.com

Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

You can consider waiting another 2 to 3 days to see if the symptoms resolve or start to improve.

The acute trauma that occurred as a result of the shoes would have caused the symptoms, if it feels very uncomfortable you can consider the use of an anti inflammatory pain killer which would speed up the resolution.
This would include medication such as ibuprofen, cataflam, voltaren,celebrex. These should all be used on a full stomach.

I hope this helps
