What is this pain called and is it curable?

Question

I have this sharp pain underneath my foot right under the arch. People told me it might be plascistis fastis or soemthing but I think it might not be because that is only under the heel. My pain is in the arch as if someone is stretching my feet it feels like. Oh I have flat feet by the way. Why do I have this pain for 3 months now. It hurts at times and I don't know what it is.. HELP

Answer 1

Flat feet called Pesplanus; of themselves are not necessarily a problem, however excessive pronation (the feet become misaligned and combined with poor posture roll inwards to gain ground contact, the arches become flattened) can cause the foot's arches to elongate and collapse. In these cases of flat feet, pain and discomfort will be present in the arch and heel, treatment is required for this problem to be managed successfully. Excessive pronation is associated with many conditions including ankle, knee or low back pain.

The causes of flat feet are many but in the older age group, decreased exercise and increased weight add to the mechanical disturbances of the foot. The symptoms can range from tired, aching to sharp pains in the foot with general leg fatigue and body aches. Flat feet can also produce conditions known as heel spurs and/or plantar fasciitis.


The best and first line of defense for a flat foot condition is a good supportive shoe but usually some type of arch support is required. Adhesive pads or Poron arch supports can help to let the arch settle down, however in the long term orthotic insoles are the most effective means of controlling flat feet.

3/4 LENGTH MOULDED VASYLI ORTHAHEEL ORTHOTIC INSOLES

Soft. Low/Medium Density. Mild Support.
These low/medium orthotics are designed to give mild control and support to the foot. These orthotics incorporate an intrinsic 4 degree wedge which re-aligns the foot and helps stabilise the lower limb in the correct position thus removing many of the tractional forces

Take it from someone that has it, it sounds like plantar fasciitis. Find yourself a good podiatrist, or at least one that your insurance will cover. They'll more than likely fit you for some custom orthotics, which should help to ease the discomfort. Unfortunately, there's really nothing that can be done for the pain; you can take over-the-counter meds (Aleve, Advil, Tylenol, etc...), but they won't work. If you can find it, BioFreeze or Tiger Balm would work to numb some of the pain.

There is a surgical option available, but most doctors will tell you that the risk isn't worth it.

Take it from someone that has it, it sounds like plantar fascists. Find yourself a good podiatrist, or at least one that your insurance will cover. They'll more than likely fit you for some custom orthotics, which should help to ease the discomfort. they can also give you a steroid shot in the area, like i got and that helps for the pain, my foot Dr also told me to freeze a bottle of water and at night put a towel on the floor place the ice bottle on the towel and use your foot to roll the bottle, the ice just like on a shoulder or sprain will help, but orthotic are the solution along with a shot for pain

When you say you have very life like dreams. That alerts me. You are having lucid dreams, I believe. Get into a routine. Everyday at some point (preferably right after you wake) do something to prbe your in reality. Then do that everyday. And in your dream if you realize that you didn't do that. It could be one warning sign. Then wonder how you go to that place. If you can't verify how you got there then that also may be a warning sign your in a dream. Next to help with depression try when you wake up. Think of something positive. Say something about yourself. Or do something that makes you feel good. You say you spend a lot of time on Xbox? Try cutting the time you spend in half. Maybe get out and run. Hang out wih people. Even if you dont feel like doing it. Make yourself. Have fun. Thi should help. And slow down on adderal

Answer 5

It could be your arches are still falling further. Maybe a chiropractor could help you. They are very good working with bones, and joints and muscles etc.
Or see a Podiatrist (foot doctor)

Have you purchased new shoes? sometimes that will effect your arches as the support may be different in the new ones then in your old ones.

Answer 6

You will know if it is plantar fasciitis if your foot or feet feel like they have little pins pricking them, or needles, when you first put your foot down on the floor when you get out of bed in the morning. That is classic plantar fasciitis. If you don't have that, then you are probably right, it would be something else.

Answer 7

i had something like this, and then i went to an podiatrist (fancy name for a foot doctor) and got orthodics. it made a HUGE difference, because i have flat feet too. they mold a special shape just for your foot and it really works!! if you want something cheaper, go for an arch support insert at a shoe store or something, but i havent tried those.

good luck

Answer 8

you have pain due to flat feet. You need to go to a foot specialist or orthopedic doctor. Don't listen to 'people'. Listen to a doctor.

Answer 9

See your doctor.

Did you change your footwear?
