Having severe pain in right foot. Was fine this morning, came to work, sit at desk job. Got up about 3 hours ago and the right side of my right foot feels like it needs to crack if that makes any sense. Limping when walking as very difficult to bear weight. Almost feels like a Charlie-horse

Hi, Thanks for your query. Pain in arches can be due to flat fleet or muscle imbalances,or excessive fatigue of feet muscles and ligaments on prolonged pressure of walking,standing on hard surfaces without adequate shock absorbing cushions in insole or on faulty foot wear, high heels etc. Treatment is contrast bath (alternate dipping in hot and cold water for 10 minutes,massage,elevation of feet on sitting, use of ankle support in day time, use of silicone in-sole in footwear, Take anti-infllammatory medicines and acetaminophen .Take short breaks from walking and standing.Do toe and ankle exercises
