Have you tried doing toe curls, dorsiflex the toes while standing, and stretch the achilles tendon ? Also, roll the bottom of your foot on a rolling pin or 3/4 full, frozen water bottle. I have a foot roller I got a Bed Bath & Beyond that I roll my feet on while I'm on the computer. Kills 2 birds with one stone
Another thing, make sure your shoes are in good condition. If they are worn, they may be telling you it's time to get new ones.
Ah... great. I bet it would be just my luck that I have a new serious injury. Gosh darn it. I hope not.
I will try the exercises you suggested. Couldn't hurt.
