Have you inspected the interior area of the hoof, for something foreign, like a thorn or a piece of glass, etc. The first thing I would do, is take a small wire brush and scrub out in debris that may be on the bottom of the hoof and in between them. Then apply light pressure to certain areas on the bottom of the hoof and watch her reaction. If you get no significant reaction, start working up the leg, gently rubbing each joint, while again, watching for a reaction from her. I am by no means a vet, but I think the first thing to do is to which area is the cause, then start researching from there. I hope this helps.
