Hi,
I need help. Here is the background. I am 23, not overweight, not an athlete. I do have low arches and slight pronation, but nothing severe.
I started having arch pain about 6 months ago. Since then it has gone away a few times, but always comes back and gets worse. Right now it is the worst it has been. I cannot even stand on my feet for more than 30 seconds without pain and having to sit down or lean on something.
I do stretches and take anti inflammatories. I rest my feet the most I can. I wear good arch supports and good shoes. Why am I in this much pain??
The doctors haven't really told me anything except to keep doing what I'm doing. But it just keeps getting worse.
The pain is over the whole arch area and up into the ankle a little bit. I do not have classic PF signs on heel pain or pain in the morning. It is only when I stand, walk, etc. And sometimes even when I am just sitting. The pain is dull aching/burning.
If anyone can give any thoughts on this I would really appreciate it! |
