pain in the arch of my foot

I get that too. U should stretch it out before so it doesnt hurt as bad.

Google "plantar faciities" and see if that's what you're experiencing. It's painful but can be cured. :flowerforyou:

Could be plantar fascitiis. I suggest you start stretching your calf muscles several times a day, and always wear shoes with arch support - no going barefoot until it heals. I had this last year and it took 6 months to heal, but everyone is different. It is usually caused by tight calf muscles. Don't ignore it or it will get worse. Good luck!

that's a great question because I get pain in my arches as well. I've tried changing into different shoes, as well as buying arch supports. Some days are ok, but others are horrible. I just continue to workout and try to ignore the pain but I think it has something to do with your stance. We are suppose to put most weight on the balls or back of the foot but some people find this difficult and don't always notice when they aren't applying the pressure to this spots.

My physical therapist suggested to do calf stretches. Find a stair or a curb or a block of wood and stand with just the front half of your foot on it. Lower your heel towards the ground until you feel the tight stretch, counting to 3, then slowly raise all the way up till you're on your tip toes, count to three, then all the way back down. if you do this first thing in the morning for about 5 minutes, then throughout the day as it starts to hurt, it should help relieve it some. After a week of doing it the foot pain should disappear.

I noticed it yesterday but I still worked out and it didnt bother me. But I have it more today and I was planning on still working out. I usually get the pain while doing the arc trainer and eliptical. Im planning on the eliptical today. I dont know if i should still workout and risk making it worst or take the day off. hmmm. Its not like wicked painful or anything but it's there.

There are a lot of things that it could be, but I would advise you to slow down and try to avoid putting strain on that foot until you figure out what's going on. It could be that your shoes aren't providing you with proper support, it could be plantar fasciitis, it could be soreness/strain, or it could be the start of an injury. I used to run a lot, and my foot started to bother me but I just ignored it and kept on running every day. Then, a couple of days later, I was going for a run and I suddenly felt this excruciating pain in my foot. An x-ray confirmed that I had a stress fracture. I had to wear a brace for 6 weeks, and I couldn't run for a long time - I could've avoided that downtime if I had paid more attention to what my body was telling me. Good luck!

I had that bad in both feet and a broken arch healing. My Foot guy had me get super feet arch support and I have used it ever since. completely fixed the problem, guess there was just too much stress on my arches.:happy:
