Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Heels
Question: heel pain like gout. can turmeric use cause sudden heel pain
Brief Answer:
Can be plantar fasciitis.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain in heel is most commonly found in case of plantar fasciitis. Turmeric is an anti inflammatory and can help in decreasing the pain. It is not likely to increase the pain.
A short term rest and oral anti inflammatory drugs are required to take care of the inflammation.
To help the pain, ice the area immediately after getting up in the morning. You can use either a store-bought cold pack or a frozen wet towel. Ice for 10 or 15 minutes. To reduce inflammation, take an aspirin or ibuprofen at mealtime.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
