Help! Foot Pain & Twitching

So I'm really freaking out over here. I am fairly new to twitching, about 7 weeks in. Twitching on my arch began about a week ago, which has led to the feeling of a cramp coming on. I now have a very achy foot, arch and toes. I bend my toes and they feel so achy, my ankle is even hurting now. It hurts to walk and move my foot and toes around. Walking is becoming more painful and straining. Would that horrible disease progress this quickly? In a matter of 7 weeks? I'm just so frustrated and worried because I don't know why I keep feeling worse. I have no diagnosis of anything so all I can do is wait and see what happens and than in itself if frightening. Can anyone relate, please?* Sorry for posting everywhere like a neurotic mess, I'm just new to all of this and it can be daunting and scary.
 
My dear,as I said to you, most probably you have your feet strained due to fears and unconscious overuse of muscles because of twitches. You might have plantar fasciitis due to this (for this disease you might google, it is not deadly :)) PF is bloody painful but completely curable.
 
Thank you for responding.I did look up what you told me and it does sound like possibility. It's just hard because all these frustrating things are happening to my body. Like my toe will just move on it's own, not twitch, but actually just move up or to the side. It is freaking me out!!Thank you again for all your help.
 
of course it is frustrating, my dear.That was really driving me crazy on the onset - my body does not hear me!but with the help of my speaking therapist I managed to understand that in fact my body is speaking to me about important things - and I do not hear it. It was telling me about one year of exhausting translation marathon (every day starting 6-7 am till 10-11 pm!, no dayoffs), about huge tiredness and stress, about too much load during even vacations (I took bloody bus tour and had to walk 6 hours a day, and I 've got severe flu in Paris due to one sneezing guy in the bus spreading infection to everybody), about too much vorrying for my daughter, etc.when I understood that body screaming language, I had started regular hours, medication for good sleep, medication for less anxiety, and slowly I managed to get better. much better.I still had some twitches, 'weak' and numb hands in the morning, I have awful painful crampd in my calves in night - but just today I understood in fact it is circulatory issue, not neuropathy, so I would try to improve my leg circulation for now...Your moving toe also talks to you. Just learn to hear what does it say.
 
I had this in my right foot in the beginning. It's now 10 months later and I had it for a few days before it went away again. Occasionally, I have cramp like pain in various parts of my body. Thankfully, I never get a real cramp but the pain is there. For a while I had a constant pain in my calf muscle.
