foot problems

For the last ten years, my feet have gotten progressively worse.
I think it is related to Agent Orange exposure.
My feet have many different conditions: aching, on fire, feeiling that I am standing in blood, stone cold, brittle stiff, someone just stuck me with a knife, I’m standing on a pencil, I just walked on a rock, numb, but never good.My hands also have these symptoms sometimes from the wrist to the fingers.
The pain in my feet is on top and on bottom of the foot but never in the ankle.
Podiatrist says my circulation is excellent anf that I have osteoarthritis.
Gave me orthotics which hurt worse than feet did before.
Another doc now says it is nerve damage.
A homeopath says it is liver/kidney malfunction, another says it is toxin buildup.
What say you?

posterior tibialis tendon problem

I have flat feet since I was a child. I’ve worn orthotics since age 35, and I am 50 now. In Nov., 2013, I had new orthotics made and switched to only SAS shoes for daily wear. My feet are happier, but I still find it hard to do any regular exercise because of discomfort under my metatarsals and sometimes, the inner aspect of both ankles. My feet don’t tolerate walking on hard surfaces. Would using a nordic trac ski machine beneficial or harmful for bad feet?

Numbness in toe

I took a long walk last Sunday with a pair of unsuitable shoes on and a few hours after I returned I had numbess in my 4th toe on the left foot.
I have a history of Morton’s neuoma but havn’t had pain for a long time.
Now that same toe is numb – could that be causing it?
It has been over 5 days now and I am getting worried.

Toe cramping

My question – I excercise doing pilaties or Tae bo at least 3 to 4 times a week, everytime I point my toes for an excercise my second toe on my left leg cramps, it even travels up into my calf.
This is extremely painful and I have to stop and walk around. I can almost at anytime point my toes and make them cramp.
I first thought I might be dehydrated but I drink TONS of water each day and during my workouts.
Is it a vitamin I’m missing please respond.
