My feet are in so much pain I'm in tears doctors can not figure out what the problem is anyone have this problem know what it could be .

Once had a neighbour who complained about her feet for years, turned out to be rheumatoid arthritis.

Go to see her-she is a podiatrist-a foot specialist. You do not need a referral but it is private practice so either you or your insurance will pay for the visit.

If you think that it is plantar fasciitis, I would encourage you to try accupunture.

Sorry you're having so much pain, Rue.  
 
From other posts, I think you have other health issues so it may not be a common foot problem just about the foot?  
 
You'll laugh at my suggestion, but give it a try in case it works. If it's the bottom of your feet that hurt, put a tennis ball on the floor, and gently roll your foot around on it.  
 
It will give a mild myofascial release to the foot and leg muscles if they are in distress& tight.  
 
Could it be nerve pain radiating down from back injury or misalignment?  
 
Could it be related to high blood sugar, as in eating lots of bread, cereals, pastas, fruit juice, pop or other sugars? High blood sugar causes foot problems for diabetics, could be a connection there.  
 
That's just a couple suggestions without I knowing your situation or what kind of foot pain, so take it with a grain of salt.  
 
Hope you find relief soon!

I have suffered from a combination of them all. First question I have is what do you do for work, are you on your feet a lot? second question is, do you buy cheap foot wear?  
 
Myself I work on my feet on cement 10 hours a day and find that if I cheap out on my work boots and don't buy a new pair every year my feet start aching first then it moves up threw my legs and back.

I think u might have gout

Problems with your feet can be caused by other medical conditions, some of them serious.

don brown said "Problems with your feet can be caused by other medical conditions, some of them serious. "

have been to doc numerous times he says I can not help you with that they never figure out what it is just give me pills .

I also deal with sore feet. Some of the reasons mine have hurt include planter fasciitis (the arch of your foot feels like it's on fire when you first put weight on your feet in the morning), lack of support (I need special orthotics to support my very high arches), poor footwear (too narrow can be very painful), standing on a hard surface barefoot (or sometimes even with shoes on), and the list goes on.  
 
I would echo the recommendation to see a podiatrist. They specialize in feet and can get orthotics made that will properly support your feet functionally, if that is part of the problem.  
 
Also possible: a broken bone. The feet have a lot of bones, and it is easier than you think to break some of them. If you haven't already, push for x-rays to rule that out.  
 
If a podiatrist doesn't think you need orthotics, I would pursue physiotherapy. If you don't have insurance and can't afford it out of pocket, see if your doctor can prescribe it, I think (although I could be wrong) that you can get PT through the hospital, but it can be a very long wait.  
 
Most of all, don't take 'I cant see what the problem is' as a final answer. If your feet hurt, your feet hurt. Hard to feel good anywhere else if your foundation hurts.
