Arch Pain: You might want to consult with a podiatrist, get xrays to make sure there is no serious pathologist. I recommend streching exercises, ice therapy and other the counter orthotics. If pain progresses try custom molded orthotics.

Have it evaluatd: Your pain could due to trauma (fracture, sprain, arthritis, inflammation), infection, metabolic conditions (gout), poor circulation, musculoskeletal or biomechanical abnormality and different neurologic conditions (neuropathy). A thorough history and physical exam and possibly some laboratory and radiology exams are needed to determine the exact cause. The treatment varies depending on the cause.
