I m not sure what I did to my foot but while I m sitting it doesn t hurt. When I get up though it is very painful to walk. As I walk more then the pain/stiffness is less but still limping. No bruising or swelling. When I put weight on it the top of my foot hurts and now 2 days later, the arch is hurting as well. The outside muscle of the ankle that runs up the leg shoots pain up my leg when I walk. Should I see someone or give it time to heal? Thanks!
Hi, Thanks for your query. Pain in arches can be due to flat fleet or muscle imbalances, or excessive fatigue of feet muscles and ligaments on prolonged pressure of walking, standing on hard surfaces without adequate shock absorbing cushions in insole or on faulty footwear, high heels etc. Treatment is contrast bath (alternate dipping in hot and cold water for 10 minutes, massage,elevation of feet on sitting, use of ankle support in daytime, use of silicone in-sole in footwear, Take anti-inflammatory medicines and acetaminophen. Take short breaks from walking and standing. Do toe and ankle exercises do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
