Almost feels like a Charlie-horse Doctor: Hi,Thanks  for  your query.Pain in arches can be due to flat fleet or muscle imbalances,or excessive fatigue of feet muscles and ligaments on prolonged pressure of walking,standing on hard surfaces without adequate shock absorbing cushions in insole or on faulty foot wear, high heels etc.Treatment is contrast bath (alternate dipping in hot and cold water for 10 minutes,massage,elevation of feet on sitting, use of ankle support in day time, use of silicone in-sole in footwear,Take anti-infllammatory medicines and acetaminophen .Take short breaks from walking and standing.Do toe and ankle exercisesI do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.Take care
