Pulse Pressure....: Standing for seven hours or more is going to stress some of the critical soft tissue structural elements on the bottom of the foot. The stress from this over use problem causes a painful inflammation of these tissues. The pulsing you feel is the heart trying to pump blood through small blood vessels located in these congested and inflamed tissue. See a specialist for treatment options.
