Hi, Suzzie,
When I read what you are writing maybe it sort of sounds like what I am feeling too.
I have some pain on the top of my foot and a little bump, especially on the right foot. For the longest time I thought it was my shoes, my weight, my not getting enough exercise, eating wrong foods, etc etc.
About 6 months ago I had an XRay and sure enough there is a little osteoporosis. You mentioned standing up after sitting and it hurts for a few minutes and this is exactly what happens to me. I had a stand-up job last year for a few months and I was glad when it ended because I was in lots of pain.
Part of my self-care is to keep gently active. It really helped to walk in the the pool. It took the weight off my feet yet allowed my foot to stretch in a way that is too painful to do on the land (sort of).
Hope this helps a little.
