yes. basically that is plantar fasciitis. plantar fasciitis is definitely associated with arch pain. typically you will have intense pain when you wake up in the morning and your foot or feet hit the floor. the fascia does not stretch and when you sleep your feet naturally go into a neutral position which is pointing downward and when you first step on the floor that fascia is stressed with that first step. i have had this in the past and in both feet. it is very painful to walk to the point where you may not be able to walk. treatment is very limited an injection of corticosteroids in the heel area is painful in an of itself. ice ice ice. i used to fill soda or water bottles with water and freeze them and sit all day at work with my foot/feet planted on the bottle. did this help? not so much. plantar fasciitis is self limiting. it cures itself when it's ready. you will notice it again with that first step out of bed in the morning it's gone! wear comfortable flat shoes put the high heels away. have your doctor give you a note for work stating you need to wear sneakers if necessary.
