I wouldn't have necessarily made the connection to the concrete floor but that's when the worst of the pain started - within the first week. When I had a spell where I was off work & only worked one day a week, the pain almost disappeared except for a day or two following the work day.You answered:
I had vacancies twice for one week without any change so this isnt the answer.My comment:
It took a long time for the pain to go away when I stopped being on the concrete floor. Kind of like, time to heal or something. I was working only one day a week for something like four months. I completely forgot about the concrete causing my pain till I went back to work last month. It might take a lot longer before you notice relief when you're off the concrete.Seeing that most of your work is behind a counter in a limited area, how about modifying the floor space? Could you get some good underpadding to lay down where you walk & stand? Something that has give but support at the same time? Seeing that I have to walk all over the place, it's not possible for me.
I've read that the best foot exercise ever is to walk barefoot in warm, dry sand. It soothes the feet (like a massage) but exercises them too. I'm serious when I say I'd like to set up a business place where people could come, wash their feet, dip them in something antimicrobial & go walking about a circuit of warm, dry sand with a little oasis area in the centre. I bet it would go over well.
