A member asked:

What does it mean to have a knot in the arch of the foot that's been there for 2 months and is very painful to the touch and sometimes when walking?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Plantar fasciitis: A painful knot in the arch is usually plantar fasciitis. It should be evaluated by a podiatrist, a foot specialist.

Dr Ferdowsi and another doctor agreed
