Does anyone els6 have this experience? On a scale of 0-10 it can be 10. I'm crying out in pain forup to more than 2hours. I can't live this way. I'm hopeful someone can help.

This sounds like you have Plantar Fascitis, a VERY common foot problem. My wife got it from marching in place as part of an exercise program. She would wake up and have terrible pain the moment she stepped out of bed. The doctor recomended an exercise while watching TV where she rolled her foot over a (full) soup can on the floor to help the normal arch of the foot. The long term solution was to ALWAYS have a strong arch under your foot, Foot pads with an arch are available everywhere (think Dr. Scholls). Never wear any footwear that does not have an arch (like flip-flops). Now she puts on her shoes as soon as she gets out of bed. Minimal barefoot time.

@crossette Is it possible to share here a pic of that type of foot pad with arch?
