What causes a burning stabbing pain on the arch of your foot?

About 3 months ago I started to experience a burning pain on the bottom of my foot by my arch which would radiate up to the side of the inside of my foot. I have to wear safety shoes at work. I also started hitting my tread mill pretty hard, trying to lose weight.

    See your health care provider as soon as possible. A burning sensation on the soles of your feet can arise from any number of causes, from ill-fitting shoes to diabetes. The most serious cause is peripheral neuropathy–damage to the leg nerves–often from diabetes or alcoholism and less commonly from vitamin deficiencies or lead poisoning. A rare disorder called erythromelalgia increases blood flow to the hands and feet and can also produce a searing sensation.
    Some people experience fiery feet because they’re sensitive to a chemical in the inner lining of their shoes (particularly some types of athletic shoes). Try changing your footgear to see if the problem subsides. If not, see your doctor to rule out medical causes. I hope this helps you. And good luck.

    i used to get that too. it’s like when your calf muscles are really tight that they pull on the muscles in your feet. just stretch more. im sure you know how to stretch your calf muscles (or just look up a few different ways of doing it) and do that 2-3 times a day for 5 minutes each time you do it. it should start to improve.

    hope this helped =]
