You should try swtiching your footwear to something that is a bit more supportive. Flip flops cause damage to the feet because of the lack of arch, andn the way they make you use your feet to grasp the sandal. All of that combined can cause injury and pain to the foot. You might have more relief if you wear more supportive shoes, but you should always talk to a professional to make sure there's no serious damage.
