Inner foot pain

Hi. I don't know what to do. Completed W4R3. Got pain in inner side of foot above arch and can still feel it four days later still even when j just stand up and put weight on it. Also when walking. I have repeated W4R1 as didn't want to progress to W5 and aggravate it. Thought may go as other pains disappeared with next run but it didn't. Been googling seems could be a tendon and Mixed advice ie rest it or continue. I don't want to make it worse but I don't want to lose the fitness gained either ? Anyone else had this. What did you do? Thanks
