See a podiatrist: Many things can cause the type of pain you are experiencing. Until you see a physician, try simple things like rest, ice, and elevation of the foot. Anti-inflammatory medication such as Motrin may be helpful.

People with high...: Arches can develop a condition we refer to as metatarsalgia at sume time in life. Try a replacement insole with good forefoot cushioning like spenco polysorb cross trainers. http://spenco.com/products/footcare/poly-sorb/cross-trainer.

Many possibilities: Your pain could be as a result of many different things. A thorough history and physical exam and possibly some laboratory and radiology exams are needed to determine the exact cause. Causes of pain may include: trauma (fracture, sprain, arthritis), infection, metabolic conditions (gout), musculoskeletal or biomechanical abnormality and neurologic conditions (neuropathy).
