Plantar fasciitis is often described as a sharp, stabbing pain in the heel or arch, especially first thing in the morning or after sitting for a while. The pain occurs when the plantar fascia (soft tissue of the foot) becomes inflamed and overstressed.
If you have been dealing with persistent foot, knee, hip or back pain but can’t pinpoint the cause, your feet might be the culprit. Having flat feet might put extra stress on your lower limbs and affect how you move.

Morton's neuroma may be the cause of your sharp, searing pain in the ball of your foot, particularly between your third and fourth toes, or if you've ever felt as though you're walking on a stone.

A plantar fibroma is a knot or nodule of fibrous tissue that develops in the arch of the foot. They can develop in one or both feet and can be painful to walk on. They can also cause a change in the way you walk, which can put abnormal strain on your body’s joints and soft tissues.
