My Doctor told me to keep moving! It has helped. Mine started after a bad foot fracture. once the bone healed enough I started Physical therapy. they didnt push me too hard but gave me strengthening exercises to do at home and told me to keep walking. I went back to work and my foot hurt terribly while I was up on it at work then I would rest at home. eventually it got easier. i also used massage therapy ( full body massage to help me relax and foot massage / pedicures which helped me feel better about my foot which was discolored and still had some swelling ) at first massage made it hurt a little worse, then eventually it started making it better. I also have started using diet to help my symptoms. So far it is all working to keep me moving. So, based on my experience I would say keep moving! Don't baby it. Try to walk as normally as possible to keep the strength in your foot, and do your range of motion exercises while relaxing in the evening.
