Do you have flat feet? In general, how is your arch? Do you do any stretching before or after your forays into the woods, especially after being on rough ground?
The right fit of boot is important, as well as the proper insole for your arch type. Is there a sports/shoe related shop near you? Here, close to Bragg we have the Athlete's Foot, which has a floor pad monitored by PC which can read your walk/foot type and then they can suggest what type of shoe/boot and insole type would be best for you. If you have anything close to that it might be a good idea to look into it.
Eagle hit the nail on the head with his suggestions. I've had to use that means of pain relief before myself. It works wonders. Jatx's advice hits home as well.
Wishing you the best!
Mick
