Why Does My Foot Sting

[ddenniscoleman3]

... I notice that when I walk, once in a while I get a stinging sentation in the middle of my foot. The best description that I come up with is that it feels that I'm stepping on a very small tack or a bee sting or small sharp pebble or something. It's not really a big deal but I just wonder why it happens. What you y'all think?

This used to happen to me as well. You may need arch support.

When I used to eat certain very acidic foods (like certain vinegars and salad dressings, processed foods, etc) that sounds like what used to happen me. Not really sure about what you consume or not, but I know a few people who described those type feelings as what turned out to be early symptoms or symptoms of gout...

Or it could be like Goddyssey says..arch support. Can't really tell by your description. When you say middle of your foot, do you mean the arch area, or the ball of your foot?

Could be a metaphysical message/symptom of something as well...need or fear to step forward in life....

Just a few thoughts.

I don't know for sure what arch support means but my assumption is that I probably been indulging a bit on acidic foods. It just so happens that I ate I think 4-6 slices of pizza and another slice from the day before. Also, I guess to make matters worse I ate 6 small chicken wings with mac & cheese the same day that I later had the 4-6 slices of pizza. I haven't gain any weight though. I'm trying my best to eat healthy but I guess my mind is on doing good in school and looking at grad school because I only have 4 classes and a study abroad left even.

As a junior in a 5 year school I'm finishing up faster than many students in my grade. My parents are pushing me hard with the grad school process and I'm struggling with one class where I slipped badly because I lost track of time working with several students on this group presentation and I came short in the powerpoint. I ended up getting a D but there's extra credit in the course so I do have a chance of passing trying to keep my GPA up. In a nutshell as you can see, I am going through a lot. I'm at a crossroads. My plan is to look at schools abroad so that I have better option especially with the ailing economy here in the states but my parents keep on suggesting that I should go to American schools and focus on those schools's standard.

I guess in metaphysical terms, there's a lot going on with me. Career wise, there's a part of me that likes music but I never really had the courage or creative environment to let my ideas out. There's another part of me where because I found Dherbs and looked up holistic gurus like Dr. Afrika, Queen Afua, and Dr. Sebi that I wouldn't mind in fact I would love to work in the holistic field as a career. Then there a part of me that wants to do humanitarian work in Africa in agriculture and networking people there with the African Diaspora (I'm considering looking like the Peace Corps). Also because of the information I'm picking up from the Nuwaupians and other books on African history, I feel this urge to connect with my ancestors, the universe and my spirit. I feel that my parent are culturally deprived of that aspect of their heritage where they're focused on making it in this matrix rat race. I just feel disenchanted at it and getting to the point where I wouldn't mind and would encourage myself to live one with nature in the motherland, connecting back to the source, being self-sufficient growing my own crop, building homes and live in a well knitted community. This is what I want for my kids. I don't want to be deprived of that.

Yep, there's a lot going on. I think I just answered my question, LOL!

I can imagine that you do have a lot on your plate. Try not to worry too much about it. It will all work out fine  Get some good veggies and fruits in your diet to neutralize the acid and plenty of water.

About the current school situation and grad school, hang in there. Follow your heart and do what you think would make you the happiest right now. Parents mean well, but they operate from their own frame of reference as to what is best for us as their children, forgetting that we are grown and have to make our own decisions and live with them too!

Sounds like you have a bit to decide on but have many options. All those ideas you have sound like they would be a lot of fun! To explore, help others, travel, see life outside of what you are doing now. You're right, the rat race sure isn't going anywhere, just depends on if you want to participate in it or not.

Yeah! Thanks for the advice. It's just difficult to realize that you're in the matrix at a point in your life where you're at most vulnerable financially on the brink of entering the job force instead of having it hit you when you have a steady "real" job for that matter. But it could have been worse. I could have been working in the matrix where I wouldn't be able to see the bigger picture and always wonder why I'm miserable or if there is something better in life that I can be a part of.

You seem real FOCUSED on what you are into my man.
