Question
Hello. I'm 17 years old and for a couple years now, I occasionally experience some pain in the arches of both my feet. Nothing seems to really cause it. Pain just randomly begins to appear. One second I'll be fine, the next second I'll be in extreme pain. It feels as if someone is trying to pull the bones out of my foot. It's a stabbing pain. I was wondering what this was and how could I get rid of it?

Dear Jess,

Dear Melissa,
For your arch pain. You did not mention if you are over-weight-that can cause arch pain. If not then perhaps low or high arches which may put a strain on the plantar fascia. Tell your parents to set up an appointment with your local podiatrist

Hope this helps.
Good Luck!
