No, no, no. It's always a tooma!

Seriously... some positive input would be nice.

You haven't given us anything to go on. How long have you had it? What makes it hurt? What were you doing when it started?

If it hurts, its an injury of some kind to something.

Besides...most of us aren't doctors.

If you haven't had it very long... Rest it and see if it goes away. Light exercise such as walking or cycling might help as long as it doesn't cause pain. Running is probably not a good idea... Even it it doesn't hurt.

If it doesn't go away in a week or so..go see a doctor.

I will play;) insertional posterior tib tendonitis

Cheers!

Don’t rule out planter, I had a bad case years ago but still get mild flare ups, and when I do it’s “high” in the arch where I feel it.

This is what I was thinking. Mainly because I'm dealing with this injury now. Between the arch and the ankle bone. You'll also feel tightness or pain at the tendon where it wraps directly behind the back of the ankle bone.

Just recently, I had a pain in my right foot that had all the symptoms of a stress fracture. I of course worried myself to death until I went to see a doc. Took xrays, examined my foot, and nothing more than plantar and a very stiff achilles. He prescribed a set of daily stretches that fixed the issue within a week. And I PR the half marathon a week after that.

The lesson being don't worry too much until you see your doctor.

First thing that came to mind for me too was Posterior Tibial Tendinitis. But like others have said there isn't enough information in the OP nor am I doctor. If in doubt go see a doctor or PT. Good luck.

This may seem like a dumb question but just clarifying......when you say the arch of your foot, this pain is on the inside (or medial) part of your foot, correct???

The reason I ask is because I had an issue with the tendon that extends to my big toe (flexor hallucis longus tendon). It caused pain right at the arch of my foot. I could run but it was uncomfortable. Ends up, it was just tight so I started doing gentle stretching of my toes several times per day (pulling the toes back toward the shin bone). But, what worked best, was placing a one inch thick book on the ground, placing my big toe propped up on the book (and no other toes), and then leaning forward to stretch just that toe (tendon). After a week or so, all of my pain disappeared.
