Any suggestions for treatment?

Chances are plantar fasciitis is setting in. There have been several threads about it over the years. Just use the search engine. I've explained how to tape your foot in a couple of those.

You probably need arch support. Nice cushy insoles won't do the trick. I highly recommend these if you can't get custom orthotics.
