I don't know, I always thought that heel spurs were just in the heel. My sister had them, actually, and she got cortisone shots right into her heel. The arch? I don't know on that one. If you're in so much pain, don't wait, make a Dr.'s appt. ASAP!

Heel spurs don't happen in the arch. If it's happening after you rest you might just need to do some runner's stretches to keep the area from tightening up after rest. Sometimes leg/foot cramping can be caused by a potassium deficiency or dehydration. Drink some Gatorade - it might help and it certainly couldn't hurt.

I had this problem too a while back when I was doing A LOT of running (6 mi a day) - a lot for me anyway. And when I learned that I had Plantar Fasciitis I thought my running days were over. I did take the advice of my doctor - who prescribed some anti inflammitories, and a cortizone injection in the heel. I did some stretching. . .lots of stretching. Stay OFF high healed shoes for a while. I also took a water bottle and froze it. Then I would put it on the floor and just roll my foot over it. It took about a month - but it finally went away. Good luck. And STRETCH!

arches need support, if you are wearing shoes with out support your arches will hurt. Sandals are the worse go to a podiatrist and have it check, you may need to wear a good pair of shoes or tennis shoes to prevent it
