Have it evaluated.: Possible cause of your pain may include plantar fasciitis, sprain, bursitis, fracture, contusion, neuritis, but of course there are a multitude of other possibilities. Get the feet inspected by a professional to determine the cause of the problem, as treatment varies depending on the diagnosis.

Distal fibula?: Was fracture immobilized in long cam-walker? The peroneal tendons (brevis & longus) pass under the distal fibula, attaching to the base of the 5th * 1st metatarsal respectively. When these tendons aren't immobilized, they continue to pull. The p longus attachedment can cause pain under the medial mid-arch. Plantar fascitiis may also come into play. Assure healing of fracture by periodic x-rays.
