Pain In Feet. Nurse, Standing All Day. Is This Plantar Fasciitis?

Problem is pain in my feet. I am a nurse and as you know on my feet all day long. Last several years I have been experiencing painful feet first thing in the am but always went away by the time I left the house for work. I use to do a lot of walking for exercise as well. But last couple weeks the pain in my feet is all day and really gets bad by late afternoon. I ended up getting new shoes thinking that was my problem but today I was good to start and by end of day after sitting down for maybe 10 minutes getting back up to walk hurt. How can I tell if it is plantar fasciitis vs something else?

Plantar fasciitis commonly causes stabbing pain that usually occurs with your very first steps in the morning. Once your foot limbers up, the pain of plantar fasciitis normally decreases, but it may return after long periods of standing or after getting up from a seated position.Plantar fasciitis is particularly common in runners. In addition, people who are overweight, women who are pregnant and those who wear shoes with inadequate support are at risk of plantar fasciitis.This clearly shows that you donot have any history suggestive of plantar fasciitis.Hope I have answered your question.
