Soreness
Along with tenderness and discomfort, foot pain can be characterized by soreness around the balls of the feet, heels, or toes. The affected areas would become swollen, sore, and turn red due to inflammation and irritation. The symptom can be worse when you walk, run, or wake up in the morning. An effective way to relieve soreness is to put ice packs on your feet. This will cause blood vessels to constrict, thus limiting the amount of blood to these areas. Also, you need to rest and avoid physical activities, which would make it longer to recover. [4]
