I have pain in my left foot, centre/right side of foot bottom, close to the arch. Rubbing it (like in massage) makes it hurt more in the short term, but feels better after I stop. Sometimes standing on it, it starts to get stabbing sharp pain. It doesn't feel flatter than my other foot, though maybe it is and I don't notice it. Most days not walking on it it feels line, but walking or standing on it makes it ache or throb with discomfort more than pain. I have started running, spinning class, hot yoga, and weight training. I am overweight after the birth of my son a year ago, but I have lost all my pregnancy weight AND extra weight from prepregnancy. I am still considered overweight, but not morbidly obese for my height. I am now under 80kgs. I am 32 years old, and I am 5 foot 8 inches tall. I am doing everything I can, I exercise about an hour and a half a day, both cardio and weight lifting, to reduce my weight and prevent (as much as possible) future diabetes, as I had gestational diabetes which disappeared after the birth, though my sugars are still high and my doctor recommended more exercise and monitoring diet.
