I'd see a podiatrist and immediately get shoe orthotics. Sometimes they can make all the difference - but make sure your insurance covers them, they're not cheap. I have the Ossatron treatment done in April - had the problem bi-lateral - in both feet. It has given me my life back. If you are in the beginning stages, do what you can now to help eliviate some pain - Advil works wonders too, I just didn't want to take it continuously. Let me know if you have other questions.
