The symptoms for foot pain are fairly obvious. You might need to start taking better care of your feet if you notice any of the following:  Soreness in the toes, heels, or balls of your feet Bumps or protrusions on any part of your feet Difficulty walking or feeling uncomfortable while walking Tenderness to the touch on any part of your feet There are many things that can cause pain in your heel. Here are some of the most common causes:  Plantar fasciitis is the most common reason people have heel pain. It is caused by an irritated plantar fascia, which is the tough tissue that connects the toes to the heel bone. It can cause discomfort in the heel or arches. Treatment for plantar fasciitis includes rest, over the counter pain relievers, or heel/toe stretches.   Heel spurs are extra bone growths on the bottom of the heel bone that can cause discomfort. They are usually caused by poor posture, inappropriate shoes, or by activities like running.Treatment for heel spurs includes choosing better shoes with a more supportive arch, rest, or over the counter pain relievers. There are many possible reasons that your foot might hurt in areas other than the heel. Here are some of them:   Metatarsalgia is pain that occurs from inflammation in the ball of the foot. It is usually caused by strenuous activities or by shoes that fit poorly. Treatment includes icing or resting the foot, choosing more appropriate shoes, or pain relievers.   Bunions are bony protrusions on the edge of the foot, usually next to the base of the big toe. They are often caused by shoes that don't fit properly. Treatment includes wearing more comfortable shoes or surgery, if the case is severe. Before doing any foot stretches, try to identify if it is your toes, heels, arches, balls of your feet or any other part that is hurting. Does it hurt worse when you are moving or bearing weight? Are you forced to change your gait? Many people walk with their feet bowed slightly out. This is known as being duck-toed. Other people walk with their feet turned slightly in. This is called being pigeon-toed. Although this may be a comfortable position, the muscles, bones and tendons are not being used properly. Bad foot alignment can be responsible for pain in the feet, knees, hips, and back.

Summary:
Know the symptoms. Recognize the causes of heel pain. Recognize the causes of other foot pain. Identify the sore area of your foot. Decide if you are duck- or pigeon-toed.
