Thank you everyone for your input, advice and support. I have custom orthotics and have used gel type insoles in the past and thry haven't fixed the problem at all. I am going to try acupuncture, as it is worked for other problems I have had. I am also trying to change things around so that I have 4 school age kids and only 2 full day daycare kids - making my work load lighter for a majority of the day. I truly try to take it easy, but just doing the day to day stuff (cleaning up and serving food, potty time and diaper changes) causes me pain by half way through the morning. My kids are really good at free play.

hopefully my plan will work out!
