Unclear: Pain in the bottom of the foot may be caused by many things. The differential is large and includes deformity, arthritis, inflammation, infection, fracture, avascular necrosis, and neuropathy. You should visit your doctor or make an appointment with someone who specializes in foot problems such as an orthopaedic surgeon.
