Knot in arch

I have what seems to be a knot in my left inside arch. Right smack dab in the middle of it. It hurts before and after I run, but goes away after about 5 minutes of running. I use powerstep inserts that are probably nearing replacement and run in GREAT shoes, Brooks Ariel. It hurts to rub, but when I do it will feel better for a while. I am terrified it will delay my training. Any ideas of what it is or what to do? HELP!

    I had an arch problem last year. First, the tendons on the bottom of your foot right about your arch might be really tight. Try rolling a golf ball around with the bottom of your foot. Also, make sure your shoes aren’t old- that can be a big problem- even with good shoes. Try going to see a sports medicine doctor and see about custom orthotics. Not sure if any of that will help- hope everything works out well!
