A member asked:

The arch of my foot often freezes up and hurts tremendously. why is this happening?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Plantar fasciitis: Plantar fasciitis, or arch ligament strain is a common cause of arch pain. What you are describing is called "poststatic dyskinesia", a hallmark of plantar fasciitis. Sometimes other causes for this can exist, so see a podiatrist for more information and treatment.
