pain across the bottom of my foot

GTOgirl1969

The arch area on my right foot has been hurting for about three days- a burning pain that feels like I stepped on a lit cigarette or something. Anyone else have something like that? I hope it goes away because I'm liking the Ripped in 30 and don't want to have to take a break.

I had something similiar and it turned out the arches in my shoes were to low

Arches would be my first guess. But you could also check with your doctor to make sure it's not Plantar Fasciitis

You might have plantar fasciitis, but I'm not a medical professional so don't take my word for it. A pair of good arch support inserts might help.

I had it a few years ago. Weight loss, stretching my calves, ice and rolling a golf ball on the effected area helped. Motrin helped too, but I had to take it as directed, every dose for a week or two before it eliminated the pain, along with the therapies I listed above. I hope this helps! Mine always hurt worse first thing in the morning. That is when the stretching was essential.

Sounds like the pain I get with plantar fasciaitis (sp?) Arch supports help, but I recommend checking with your doctor to make sure.

First thing I would do is get some good new inserts for your workout shoes with higher arch support - that fixed my issues with heel spur (plantar fascitis) type indications......

If that does not give you relief after a week or so you need to see a doctor (physio) to help diagnose the issue....

Have you done any machines lately like a crosstrainer or elliptical? I know that if you don't leave your feet flat on the pedals on that type of machine, it can strain the muscles that run across the bottom of your foot. I feel it usually when on one of them. I try to keep correcting myself and it helps! Otherwise, it definitely could be your arches. Try doing foot stretches, or wearing two pairs of socks for support..it helps me also I have flat arches!

I think we need to take the equine approach to this and shoot her.

Warning: I might shoot back. :laugh:

I think this is what I have! Glad I opened this.

Make sure it isn't PF!! If it is and you ignore it (or get bad medical advise) you'll suffer it for years!!

I used to get this pain in the sole of my foot, like there wasn't enough skin on it....

Ironic really that now I've got plenty of skin to go around =/

I'll call my doctor on Monday if it isn't any better. :ohwell:
