Thinking like a scientist

[humble soul]

I've never embraced science nor scientific thinking. But I recently I wonder whether that has been my error.
Dealing with pain recently, I really need to do strict trial and error to diagnose and recover my foot problems.
When I have pain:
Where is it exactly?
What preceding action may have aggravated it?
What soothes it?
What micro actions are hurting it?
I need to be my own physician.

Can you describe the pain?

Can you describe the pain?

Like an annoying attention seeking child. That gets worse the longer I stand up.
If I wear boots instead of shoes, it seems to settle down. It likes immobility.

My brother has arthritis in his feet. I read somewhere that raspberries help. He has about 9 a day. It has definitely helped him. Cherries are good pain killers too.
