Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
Your symptoms can be due to wearing high heels. You should avoid them.
I would suggest that you should do hot fomentation by dipping your foot in lukewarm water for about 10 minutes twice daily and local application of pain relieving gel or oil thereafter.
If the pain persists you should take a pain killer along with a muscle relaxant.
Also get yourself clinically examined by your doctor.
I hope this is helpful to you.
Regards. Thanks.
