Many times people will ask me if it is normal for their feet to hurt.
There are a few times when foot pain may be expected: ie after a marathon (or much shorter run depending on your conditioning). For the most part it is not normal for your feet to hurt.
Mild pain may be expected with extended activity and usually can be properly handled (ice, bracing, anti-inflamatories, ect) while continuing physical activity.
On the other hand, chronic injuries or injuries that prevent you from full weight bearing activity, should not be "worked through." This degree of injury normally requires rest and protection and often professional intervention.
It shouldn't hurt to walk!
