She said that it was caused because i wear Ugg boots all winter and flip flops all summer...and high heels to work...basically nothing with arch support at all...it flares up every few months and hurts a lot for about 3 days. during those three days i cannot walk and it throbs with pain even when i am immobile. Anyone have this? KNow how to relieve the pain? i just spend the time laying down or sleeping because it hurts so much. thanks.

Cath,
Try wearing foot wear with the Scholl inserts that provide support to your inner foot arch..is it high? or do you have flat feet? That's important to establish. Over the counter Motrin or Advil or Tylenol (whichever you use) will decrease the inflammation to that part of your foot temporarily. Until you support your natural arch your problem will continue.

For information on muscles, pain and referred pain read The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies.
For feet you DO need the arch support if you are getting pain from not wearing any. There are some that cost as little as $7.00 that are just as good as the expensive ones.

You relieve the pain by wearing proper shoes all of the time. That's what your doctor was telling you.
