I'm sorry, Holly
A guy I used to date had it. I gave him some socks. Not sure how he's doing now

If you have this, what were you advised to do for treatment?
Never had it, but you should definitely question what's caused it. You'll end up with bad knees too if you're already having feet issues at a young aged which I presume isn't old given your "old person" comment.

Never had any issues either knees are or feet. She said it was more than likely caused by lack of support in the sneakers since the inserts had worn out. I figured foot things start in you 60’s if you don’t care for your feet.

Actually you're the argumentative aggressor. If it's not your way, it's the highway. You pummel your opinions onto everyone. It's like a one sided discussion with you.
Learn to communicate in a more rational manner. I left you a comment to your op. -

Runners get it, so do other athletes. I've had two episodes of it, and it is extremely painful. Something that helped me was a boot for sleeping. The cramps and spasms in the arch of my foot would get worse at night when resting, so I got these boots designed specifically for PF. Took a lot of the pain away.
I've always worn arches, but then about 6 weeks ago, I started wearing zero drop barefoot boots and those have zero arches. It doesn't make sense, because I've been wearing custom orthotics and/or inserts since I was 18 to help with my back and feet. This is the very first time I've worn these types of shoes/boots, and I haven't had any foot pain since. I can't explain it because it goes against the logic.
Check out those boots to be worn at night, however. They're sort of like lightweight braces that cover the foot and calf and pull the toes up. It stops the cramping and sharp pain.

It’s a vague, dull throb when no weight is in it. When I get up in the morning and put weight on it, it hurts really bad. Once I walk some more, the pain lessens. She. Looked at the inserts in the sneakers and told me they were shot. I buy HOKA all the time and do 2 pairs over a year, then replace. I can see what she was talking about. She said the shoes themselves were in good shape, and she ordered me new inserts.
She said to wear the compression sock when I sleep. And to try to keep the foot elevated.
Do you have high arches?

HOKA, who dat?
my footwear of choice is ASICS. i also see 90% of nurses and docs wearing them too because of superior gel-insert cushioning technology.
ive never done the sock compression thing, always seemed gimmick. but my doctor recommended, at least for long-haul flights. the ones on
amazon
endorse wearing these types of socks even for runners and walkers.- he defaulted to generic amazon merch for the compression socks, waving off as unnecesaary name brand like Doc scholes.

HOKA is a very good brand, and recommende d by my podiatrist. They have never failed me.
Compression socks is a new thing for me. I got a generic brand, too.

Yes, 20-30mmhg compression socks. Medical grade. As for periodic table, left all that chemistry stuff behind after high school.

Mercury’s chemical symbol is Hg because it derives from the ancient Latin and Greek name “Hydrargyros,” which means “liquid silver.” The symbol Hg reflects this etymology rather than a straightforward correlation with the English name “mercury” or a hypothetical symbol like Ha. This choice aligns with the longstanding tradition of basing chemical symbols on Latin or Greek roots instead of English names. Understanding why mercury is Hg requires exploring the origin of the term “Hydrargyros,” the naming conventions in chemistry, and the historical context in which these symbols were established.

I used to wear New Balance sneakers athletic sneakers and for the longest time, at least 20 years, and would get custom made orthotics to wear inside. What I noticed was that they were extremely heavy. Sure, I could wear them, but I'm not sure if the weight contributed to my getting PF.
I had to wear those PF braces at night for a while which were designed to pull the toes forward/upwards (which helped me greatly) and I eventually switched to OTC inserts that I got off of Amazon and also switched to Brooks brand sneakers in Ghost style, and they made a massive difference. They're a running shoe and are feather light. The combo helped me a great deal. The lighter sneaker was a game changer, and also wearing zero drop boots
