One possible explanation could be achilles tendinitis. I had achilles tendinitis when I was younger and I would feel the pain whenever I would play sports or be active. I know you said the pain is persistent, but if you're a very active person or have a job that requires you walking around a lot, achilles tendinitis is a possible answer. Regardless, if you want the best advice, see you doctor.

Might be also that one foot started hurting first.

Just enough were you had to put more work on the other foot.

Something similiar happened to me.

I had clearly hurt one ankle but after awhile

I was hurting on the healthy one.

I thought I just imagined it.

But then I did read about the long term side effects of not

getting one foot properly healed. It can also eventually

give a person back problems. That's what the article said.
