Hi,
I understand your concern.
-Pain, tingling,muscular twitching in your arch of feet, seems to be neurogenic n origin.
- Xray/ MRI of lumbosachral spine should locate the exact cause- probably disc problem, causing pressure on nerve supply to arch of feet.
- You need to consult an orthopedic doctor for management.
- Management consists of Non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs/ Vitamin B12 , vitamin D & calcium supplement.along with physiotherapy for the specific area.
- surgical treatment only for severe cases.
Thanks.
