RE: bottom of foot pain while working out.
by Melissa
I am a 28 year old female. I just gave birth 6 months ago and I have been working out for almost two months now (4-5 days a week), mostly aerobics classes. Three weeks ago I began having a sharp pain in my right arch with every step and that went away. The following week while in my work out classes I started getting major achy pain in the bottom of both feet when the workout gets intense and it is still occuring. It almost feels like my feet are not getting circulation. I've tryed to loosen my laces, bought q factor replacement insoles, and even bought new shoes. Now I'm wondering if I need a wider shoe or if it is because I have so much weight and pressure on my feet. I weight 185lbs and I'm only 5'2". I hate to have to make a Dr's appt. if it could be a simple fix but I'd really like to be able to push myself in these workouts. However; this foot pain makes me stop and shake the pain out. This pain also comes while running or working out on the elliptical. Thank you! Hi Melissa, I cannot make a diagnosis for you but I can tell you this. If you are doing an activity that makes your feet hurt and you do nothing about it, you do run the risk of worsening the condition and ending up with pain all the time. I think your best bet would be to see a podiatrist and get some treatment or at least an evaluation of what is going on, in order to avoid problems down the road. Marc Mitnick DPM
