How can I fix arch pain

Question

My right foot has severe arch pain everytime I walk. I wore heels for like 2 days in a row and I think that's whats causing the pain, which is weird since I used to wear heels almost every day! Anyone have any suggestions?

Answer 1

Do you have low/high arches? At my school for people with arch problems we have a taping procedure we do for them, but you can probably buy arch supports at a store.

Answer 2

If the pain is more prevalent in the mornings or after rest periods then it is probably plantar facaitis...try orthotics...plantar facaitis never "goes away" but is treatable and manageable

Answer 3

Better support...

Answer 4

Could be a plantar fascitis which often lies quietly waiting for an opportunity to flare up. It is a shortening/tightening of the fascia in the sole of the foot.

Could also be slightly bruised, pulled muscles etc.

Regardless, take a water bottle and freeze it. Use the frozen water bottle to roll the arch of your foot over. It will do two things: massage your foot stretching tight fascia and also reduce the pain.

You can do this countless times over the day to make it tolerable.

If there is any concern of a fracture xrays wouldnt hurt either.

heal well.
