My aching feet

This is so frustrating, my left foot has been sore since I started walking, at first I put it down to my foot not being used to all the walking, then I thought it the extra weight that's causing the problem, but it didn't get any better, rather it became worse.  So I consulted Dr Google and followed the suggestion of doing more calf stretches, so I did that and hey it did feel a bit better.
It was worrying me as I was getting a burning pain going along my second toe and into the ball of my foot.  It would wake me up at night with a shooting pain, like a burning sensation.
I took myself off to a real Doctor today who told me to stop walking. I exclaimed in a loud voice that it's impossible to stop walking and explained how hard it has been to set this routine and to keep up with the routine.  He didn't understand and sent me for X-rays and said stop walking or you won't be able to walk on it at all.
He told me to remove the orthotics that podiatrists made for me, and I know for a fact, if I take them out I will be in worst pain (Been there done that).  
So I'm going to make an appoint to see the Podiatrists and take the X-rays and hopefully he can help me.
On a positive note, I'm going to hit the gym tomorrow and work on the bike and then go for a swim in the pool.  Also, the picture shows a beautiful rainbow today.
