A member asked:

General foot pain, both feet sore numb and electric shock like pain ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Arch weakening: It is most likely due to fallen arches. Your feet feel tired because the muscles are fatigued and unable to hold your arch up. In turn you pronate your feet which applies tension to your tibial nerve causing numbness and pain as the nerve is over stretched. Need to wear arch supports to reduce symptoms.
