Pain in the bottom of the foot can have a variety of causes. Wearing ill-fitting shoes or putting excessive strain on the foot may be responsible for your foot pain. If you feel pain in the bottom of your foot immediately after exercising or see swelling and bruising, you may have sprained your foot. Sharp burning or shooting pains in the foot and the sensation that you are walking on a pebble may be indicative of Morton’s neuroma. A sharp pain between your arch and heel or a stabbing pain in the heel are characteristic of plantar fasciitis. You may also have foot pain if you have flat feet or fallen arches. To determine the cause of your foot pain, and to find relief, please seek the care of a podiatrist.
