Diseases and conditions that can cause foot pain include arthritis, Lupus, diabetes and much more.

The autoimmune disease that causes foot pain is Lupus.

An overactive immune system can cause pain in the feet, toes and ankles.

Foot Pain in the morning is usually a sign of Plantar fasciitis.

However you might have also pinched a nerve leading to the foot during the night as well.

Foot Pain that occurs in the morning is usually caused by a condition known as "Plantar fasciitis" which is a condition where the plantar fascia, a thick ligament on the bottom of your foot, is irritated.

Signs and symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis include stiffness or pain in the heels or feet.

The symptoms of the Plantar Fasciitis might be worse in the morning because of poor blood supply to the heel and foot area when you're at rest.

The fastest ways to relieve foot pain is to soak the feet in a warm container of water, or apply an ice pack to the feet that are hurting.

You can also relieve foot pain by massaging the foot that is hurting or use a foot massage device that you place your feet on and it vibrates to massage your feet.

You can also prevent foot pain by using arch supports or Gel Inserts in your shoes to make your shoes more comfortable to wear.

Prolong walking or running, Jogging etc can all lead to foot pain which is normal.

Most cases of foot pain are nothing serious or caused by any health issue or disease.

If the foot pain is caused by injury, overuse of the foot, standing on the foot too long or wearing tight fitting shoes then the foot pain should go away within a few hours to a day or two.

if the foot pain lasts longer than a day or gets worse or you have any swelling of the foot then you should see a doctor or go to urgent care.

The most common cause of your bottom of your feet hurting so bad is a condition known as "Plantar fasciitis" which is an inflammation of the fibrous tissue (plantar fascia) along the bottom of your foot that connects your heel bone to your toes.

But if not you should see a doctor.
