I'm not that tall so my strides are not too long .

I'll try out the orthotics. what kind of shoes should I be looking for?

this really is frustrating, I was in the best conditioning of my life before this.
There are tons of different shoes. I would go to a local running store in the area and have them fit you for shoes. They take into account height, weight, stride, and your foot, and then will put you in the best shoe for you. Another thing that could be causing the pain is just having old running shoes. They wear out, like a car tire. If the tread is flat and the insoles have no cushion in them they are done. If the shoes are new I would then look at new insoles or orthodics for the shoe. Even a real cheap option that has worked for myself is Icey-hot on my lower legs before I run. I won't recommend you a shoe, because the quantities are vast, and I don't know your stride, your foot, or what your running in right now. I know its vague, but shoes are like fingerprints, you have to match your foot to the shoe.
