Stabbing Pain In Bottom Of Foot, Same Spot Always, No Muscle Pain. Is This Normal?
Hello. For the past month or so, I've been having a sudden, sharp, stabbing pain in the bottom of my foot. It's always in my right foot, and always in the same spot, on the bottom of the ball of my foot. It doesn't really feel like a cramp, and I can move my toes freely when it happens, my muscles don't tense up. It's just a really sharp, strong pain. It goes away after about 10 seconds. And it happens at least once a day, up to 3 or 4 times per day. Is this normal or should I see a doctor? Should I be concerned about a blood clot or something?

Hello, Choose footwear that supports your foot
Shoes and devices that support your foot can help protect your plantar fascia and allow it to heal. We recommend a combination of the following footwear and devices:
Supportive shoes. Wear shoes with good arch and heel support. A higher heel may also help. Avoid standing or walking barefoot or in unsupportive shoes like slippers or sandals.
Arch supports. Wearing arch supports inside your shoes reduces strain on the plantar fascia. We recommend the semirigid arch supports that are available at all of our pharmacies. Regards,
