Arch pain/cracking

Lately I have been having pain in the arch of my left foot.
It feels like my arch is going to crack but right before it does it starts shooting pain in throughout my arch.
Then I wont put weight on it for a while and when I finally do it cracks and then hurts again for a few seconds.
My mom wants to take me to the doctor but if there is no need for this I would like to know.
