Help please! My feet really hurt. Most of the time it is only the right one?

I wear orthotics, not sure if they really help. My foot has a bunion and it actually is getting kind of deformed looking. The skin on my feet looks very old too, and kind of shiny. My feet get very red (purple maybe) when I stand., swelling too. Also, the skin on my legs is looking shrively!! Especially my knees and starting down my calves. Can I stop this with exercise or ANYTHING? I know this question is long, but it just seems that doctors are not willing to listen anymore. I don;t know why that is. Does anyone else have this problem with their doctors? So, I am finding that I am getting BETTER answers here. Thanks for your help. Just seems that women's health issues are not that important!!

    Proper fitting shoes are critical for your feet. It sounds simple but it is the only truth that matters. Go to a shoe store that specializes in fitting shoes that are for your type of feet. I have very high arches and improper shoes drive me crazy with pain. One of our feet is always larger than the other one. You may also be getting an improper size shoe.

    Soak your ft in coldcold water with ice cubes it's going to believe like its painful but if its performed it feels excellent than placed a few lotion to your ft and placed socks on than get a foot therapeutic massage!
