i have discomfort in my right foot in the arch area that stops me from aerobic exercise (bouncing). I have had planters faciitis in the past but it does not feel the same now. I have gone to two doctors and one gave me a cortisone shot that really hurt and the other took an xray and said nothing was wrong. It is very frustrating as it limits my ability to work out. Every day since I sit at a desk every day it does not seem to bother me. On weekends when I am on my feet all day it throbs at the end of the day.
Dear patient if pain is at the arch of feet and occurs on increased walking reason may be flat foot. In this condition there is loss of normal arch of medial side of feet. It may be mobile or rigid. Diagnosis can be confirmed by clinical Examination and weight-bearing lateral X-ray of the feet. Treatment is shoes with medial arch support. You can take tab diclofenac sodium 50 mg twice a day for pain relief. If X-ray is abnormal please consult foot specialist around you.
