Detailed Answer:
Hi there.

Thanks for the query.

It is possible you have Plantar fascitis.

Wear soft microcellular rubber slippers. Keep the Feetham ankles dipped in warm water with added salt for about 15 minutes. This will help to reduce oedema.

Do plantar fascia and calf stretching exercises daily after consulting a good Physiotherapist.

Exercise daily to prevent obesity.

Take Tablet Ibuprofen 400mg twice a day for 5 days after meals and Tablet Ranitidine 150mg twice a day for 5 days before meals.

I hope I have answered your query.

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.

Regards,

Dr. Aashish Raghu
