What Does Severe Pain On The Arches Of The Feet Indicate?

I have severe pain in both arches that won t go away & affect walking normally. I have nice high arches so it s not flat feet. I also suffer from pseudo-gout which has hit my ankles joints from time to time. I m disabled so I don t exercise, so it s not due to strenuous exercising.

Hello,

This is called plantar fasciitis which is due to abnormal walking practice or over stretch during walking may lead to pain.

Treatment includes:

This is a common foot condition that can be easily treated. If you suffer from arch pain avoid high-heeled shoes whenever possible. Try to choose footwear with a reasonable heel, soft leather uppers, shock absorbing soles and removable foot insoles.

When the arch pain is pronation related (flat feet), an orthotic designed with a medial heel post and proper arch support is recommended for treating the pain. This type of orthotic will control over-pronation, support the arch and provide the necessary relief.

If symptoms not improved, please consult your doctor so that he/she will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
