Hello,
I have studied your case and i think that you are having muscular injury in the foot and it is going to take some time before complete healing. I would suggest you to apply hot water fomentation and violin ointment. Also you should not stand in same position for long time and take some rest in between. If there is severe pain even after these activities then you can apply water plaster.
