Question:
I have a pain in the arch of my foot; what could it be?
I get this pain in the arch of my foot, does anyone know what it is? The pain isn't constant, it just comes out of no where whether I am walking, standing, or sitting. When the pain does occur it happens in quick bursts, it will hurt for a couple seconds then there will be no pain for a couple seconds (the times vary, but the intervals or no more than 10 seconds). These quick intervals of pain only last up to 10 minutes at a time, and it happens 1 - 3 times a day. If you know what it is or anything I can do to reduce the pain then post your answer. Thanks.
Answers:
could be plantar facitist (sp?). Where the ligament in the arch of your foot is too tight...the pain is like someone stabbing a knife into the middle of your foot...sound familiar?
There are stretches you can look up online and brace type supports you can wear to stretch the ligament so you won't get the pain.
hope that helps.
