severe foot pain on the bottom of my feet...hurts to stand on them and has lasted for 4 weeks now.

I work at a warehouse and I have plantar factitis and it does not matter what I do my feet hurt walking up to 20 miles per day walking on that hard concrete floor. My feet hurt walking to my car after work but when I get home I can walk around. I just don't think that people with this foot problem can stand working on concrete.

It's called planter fesiitis. I have it right now and there's nothing I can do about it because I play high school soccer so I am not really allowed to sit out . Plantar fesiitis is tiny tearing of ligaments in the arc of your food caused by over stretching or stream you'd running on hard surfaces. Rest if you can because that's what your supposed to do. If this is what you have DO NOT try and get a massage or anything like that because when I tried that I got a million times worse

It could be diabetes. Have you gone to your doctor to check for that? What you are experiencing is one of the signs. I found out I had it from foot pain. I thought it was because I was too big or something.

I am a young man 33 and I have found the same problem over the years I slowly became less active and had increased a poor diet of fast food, along with doctors medications, I slowly lost my youth, sleeping all day, and only eating when I awakened, without fruits (high in potassium like bananas which help relieve and "stop" muscle crampings), poor diet in general, I gained an enormous amount of weight, I sat at my computer all day, as an IT professional. Then when lunch break came I had very limited healthy options from surrounding restaurants even grocery stores had only processed foods. My own personal confession, a result of poor dieting and lack of physical exercise, led to extreme foot pain when I finally did start to exercise again, but it was too late. It starts first with a balanced diet, you need to get up and walk more often, exercise, stretch before and after, at least an hour both before and after I recommend, and accept your physical limitations, like not over exerting yourself to gain minor results only to lose them later with more poor dieting and poor exercise. I know people work a lot these days but for your own personal health, stretching the back legs muscles doing toes touches alone can relieve a lot of foot cramping and calf soreness especially if you are on your feet all day, small aerobic movement with your arms, bending at the waist, small movements your coach in school used to teach you are still highly effective as an adult. A high fiber diet will curb your food cravings (beans, boiled potatoes, remove a lot salt and sugar and processed foods)and foods high in potassium like I stated earlier (bananas) will relieve cramps immediately with in 2 to 3 days and I mean while you are on your feet, not eat a banana and then wait, you have to absorb the potassium into your body for it to be effective. At first a healthy diet will make you sick but in time you will feel better and better and you will become healthy in the process. So losing weight, regular diet and exercise, all three things will contribute to better foot health and overall pain relief.
