What Could Severe Pain In Arch Area Of Foot Due To Long Standing Hours Indicate?

Hi, I recently started a new job where I am on my feet for like 8-10 hours, wearing clogs and support stockings (which go over my feet too). I also jog a couple times a week. I recently started experiencing foot pain in the arch area of my foot when jogging and when walking, at times. It feels like pain in the top part of my arch and the bottom part (feels like my arch is giving in). I can visually see the arch in my foot/feet so it is weird. It is just my left foot. Do you think this is plantar fasciitis or something else?

Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.


This isn't plantar Fascitis at all. It is due to excessive standing in a shift than usually you had to do before.

It is wear and tear phenomenon and is totally a reversible benign process involving no infection.

Apply Bengay Ultra stretch gel on affected area and massage. Plus Ibuprofen by mouth will help a lot. Take small rests in between standing and also try to keep on moving your feet standing on the same place.

Keep a balanced diet and take Plenty of fluids and vegetables and salads.

Hope I answered all of your health concerns . If you have further questions in future, feel free to contact me anytime. In the start of your question write my name, and I will get back to you in no time. If satisfied, please click you found it helpful.

Have a wonderful time ahead.
