Two things spring to mind first off Chani - one is that you may have 'flat feet' - and the activity is setting of the aches and pains, and the other is that you may have osteo arthritis.
Oh and another thing might be limited circulation in your feet leading to peripheral neuropathy. But it's more likely the first thing - you may well have flat feet and just need to use orthotics. Go and see a Doc, or perhaps an orthotist or even podiatrist.
I used to do ballet and know what you mean Gilana about rotten ballet feet!! Plus add in my parent's legacy of osteoarthritis, and my poor feet just don't like high heels - I live in flatties all year round, and if I can I get around in bare feet. Walking on sand is good if you can get to a beach, it really works the muscles and they get stronger, but otherwise it's a bit hard to do anything much. I stick mine in a footbath and echo the use of peppermint and massage!! Plus glucosamine and chondroitin can help...
