What Causes Pain In Arch Of Foot?

For one month I have had pain in the arch of my left foot only when I wake up in the a.m. I sometimes use my opposite foot to massage the pain in arch and on top of foot above arch. The only time I experience this pain is when in bed. The pain goes away usually before I get out of the bed. Does this mean anything to you? I have recently had physical and everything is normal. I am overweight but I am healthy. This is the first time for me to experience any pain. The pain is not excruciating but annoying.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us,

I have studied your case with diligence.

There is possibility of plantar fasciitis.
Shoe/footwear should be with soft sole. You can use silicon pad insoles.

Start plantar exercises consulting physiotherapist also Physiotherapy like TENS and ultrasound will help.
Take calcium supplement with vit D.

If no relief with this line of treatment then local injection shot can give pain relief for longer duration.

Also check your B12 and vit D levels.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
