overpronation & foot pain

Hello, wondering if anyone has any ideas about my problem. I have worked in retail for about 3 1/2 years. I've always had pain in my heels, but the last few months it was much worse. Went to podiatrist, I have plantar fasciitis and I overpronate. I also have high arches,mild bunions, and my right tibia turns outward. I also had a neuroma in the left foot. My pod gives me a prescription for orthotics. I wore them one day for about five hours. Within two days, suddenly my right big toe is hurting, and my right forefoot doesn't fit properly in my shoes anymore. So I went back to the pod, he says I just need to wear my orthotics and that my bunion is making my foot that way. But my shoes fit fine 2 days before! And I think my foot is pronating more than it was before.

So I go to a different podiatrist. She x rays my feet, says the mechanics of my feet are just really bad, it's genetic, and that I need to wear orthotics, but they should be adjusted. Meanwhile, I'm in lots of pain. My right ankle feels like it's turning in much more than before, the bottom of my big toe hurts, and the inside of my right foot hurts along the top of the big toe up toward the ankle and the ball of my foot hurts too. Not to mention the plantar fasciitis, which hasn't gone away. I hardly leave my house now. I can't work because I have to stand up at my job all day. The podiatrist won't give me an excuse because apparently pain isn't enough of an excuse.

Now I have no shoes I can wear. Nothing I have fits anymore. Apparently I'm a wide width in the front and the rest of my foot is narrow width.
My pod did send me to a phys therapist, and she said my right foot is really rolling in and I'm also slightly bowlegged.
Does anyone have any idea what the heck is wrong with my feet ?
