Brief Answer:
Warn super-saturated salt solution helps a lot

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query, albeit very short and specific.
Please mention your age and gender.
Also mention the treatment taken till now and its effectivity, if any.

I usually suggest the following in such a situation;
Take broad based bucket or a bowl in which you can rest your both feet comfortably.
Pour in a water till it fills up to 8 inches. Remove the feet and start adding common salt to the water. Go on adding till you can see the salt not being able to dissolve. This makes it supersaturated solution.
Once this saturated solution is made, you have to make it warm on a stove to an extent that the back of your hand can tolerate, pour it into the bucket, test the temperature again, rest your feet in to the bucket. Keep part of the solution on the stove so that you can add warm solution to the bucket with feet. Continue for 15 minutes minimum twice daily. Do not throw away this solution as it will look dirty after some days; use the same.
You may take an additional oral steroids in the form of deflazacort under the prescription of your Doctor, in tapering dosage.
And may take diuretics if needed to reduce the internal edema that adds to the pain and tenderness.
Always take multivitamins with Lycopene as they act like anti-oxidants.
I hope this helps you as it helped many of my patients.
Please feel free to ask for more if you need to and you may please rate this answer.
Wishing you an early and permanent recovery.

Dr T Chandrakant.
