Brief Answer:
Can be due to plantar fasciitis.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain on the arch side of the foot and leg can be due to inflammation of the plantar fascia or decreased levels of Vitamin D3.
A short term rest and oral anti inflammatory drugs are required to take care of the inflammation.
To help the pain, ice the area immediately after getting up in the morning. You can use either a store-bought cold pack or a frozen wet towel. Ice for 10 or 15 minutes. To reduce inflammation, take an aspirin or ibuprofen at mealtime.
A 4-inch wide Crepe bandage wrapped around the region also helps reduce discomfort.
Calf and anterior (front of) leg stretching and strengthening addresses the biomechanical problems and reduces pain.
Regular physiotherapy and massage will help in reducing the inflammation. Do continue with vitamin D3 supplements in case the levels are decreased.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
