Getting My Foot Fixed

A few months ago, I realized that I had a real problem with my left foot. Whenever I started running, I would have this piercing pain alongside my arch, and it was really uncomfortable. I decided that I couldn't let the problem continue, since it started to affect my ability to work out. I thought about it and decided to go to the podiatrist so that I could start finding a solution.
