Subject: Stabbing foot pain mid-arch and only periodically I have tried to research this as much as possible and I am almost positive it is not plantar fascitis. I will be running along just fine and then I will get a very sharp stabbing pain in the middle of my arch, closer to the inner side on the bottom of my foot. It only happens occasionally and it is only on my left foot. It happens most often when I am 3+ miles into a run and when I am turning to the right so that my left is pushing off more than my right but can also happen when running straight. I will limp/hop on my right for a few strides and then I am able to keep going on the left as long as I put less weight on it and roll my foot more to the outside throughout the rest of my run. It is not a constant issue, sometimes I can go 5 or more runs with no problems, but when it does pop up it pretty much ruins whatever running I am doing. I am a pronator and all my running the past 5 years has been in some nike structure triax's. It has happened in a pair of asics and other shoes before that. I don't use any orthotics or special insoles, just what comes in the shoes. Has anyone experienced anything like this or have an idea what is going on? Do I need to get insoles or orthotics?
