Cause

Any form of stimulation (physical or chemical) that causes a certain intensity can cause pain. It is currently believed that various forms of super-stimulation can cause tissue cells to release certain chemicals, called pain-causing substances, including: acetylcholine, serotonin, histamine, bradykinin and peptides, potassium ions, hydrogen Ions, as well as acidic metabolites released during tissue damage; prostaglandin E1 has also been shown to increase tissue sensitivity to pain and cause pain.

Wearing the wrong shoes is the main cause of foot pain. In addition, the more common causes are gout, arthritis, and big bones.
