What Causes Continuous Pain In Left Foot?

I (29 yrs old, female) initially had pain occasionally in my left foot, which followed only after a lot of walking or carrying the kid for long. When I consulted the doctor, he said that I have a kind of flat foot. He adviced me to have Tendocare- once daily for 3 weeks. After I had the medicine for 5 days, the pain increased so much so that I am barely being able to walk properly now. Curving my left foot s thumb towards the body, makes me feel a sensation that is close to a pricking nail (at the point the foot has an arch). The pain is continous (even when I am not walking) , getting unbearable & disturbing. Please suggest urgently.

In flat foot the inside arch of foot is lost. this causes bearing of more load and stress on muscles and bones of inside the foot then their usual capacity. it causes pain on standing & walking. in advance stages due to swelling of muscles and soft tissue, pain may occurs while resting .
anti-inflammatory analgesic such as ibuprofen,icing and wearing of medial shoe raise (commercially easily available) inside the shoes while walking will give relief in pain and other symptoms. she raise will make artificial curve of foot and distribute the load accordingly.
Hope this helps.
