Sharp Pain in my left foot! ?!


Question: Sharp Pain in my left foot! .?
Okay I am 15 years old and for a few years now i have been doing regular exercise. For a year i have been doing 5 hours exercise a week doing things like areobics or anything that is cardio.
But ever since i was little i remember occassionly getting a sharp pain (usually in my right foot) on the very bottom in the middle and it hurts if i put pressure on it and can get worse dependin on how much walking i do on that day. It usually goes within a few hours and i only get it now and again its very rare but i wanted to ask on here if anyone knew what it was since i have now and remembered lol
I have tried ice and massging the foot but the pain is like someone sticking a sharp pin into your foot and the pain shoots around the middle of the foot.
Anyone know how to treat this or know what it is i shall be very grateful for any answers
thanksss

Answers:
The most common cause of arch pain is Plantar Fasciitis. Plantar Fasciitis is Latin for inflammation of the Plantar Fascia - the fibrous band of tissue that connects the heel bone to the toes. Someone with arch pain usually has inflammation of the tissues within the mid-foot.

Plantar Fasciitis is caused by over-stretching of the Plantar Fascia. Repeated strain can cause tiny tears in the ligament. These can lead to inflammation, irritation, pain and swelling. Arch pain is more likely to happen when:

-- your feet roll inward too much (over-pronation)
--you walk, stand, or run for long periods of time, especially on hard surfaces
-- you are overweight
-- you have tight Achilles tendons and/or calf muscles

Medical studies on foot pain found that a combination of stretching exercises and wearing a standard, off-the-shelf orthotic shoe insert is the most effective way of dealing with arch pain. This treatment regime is also very effective for the treatment of heel pain.
