Suggest Treatment For Severe Plantar Fasciitis Along With Pain In Foot

Posted on Mon, 2 Mar 2015

Question: I am having SEVERE Plantar Fasciitis pain in my foot. I am scheduled to see an orthopedic foot/ankle specialist in two days. I called last week to see if I could get in sooner because the pain is SO severe. I spent much of my weekend on my feet doing housework. By last night I could barely walk. The pain has been radiating up my ankle lately and last night was the worst it has ever felt. I honestly feel like my muscles on the bottom of my foot are going to tear apart or my ankle is going to give out. HELP!

you can take painkiller.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
After reading your post, I would advise that you should take a painkiller like Ibuprofen twice daily after meals along with an antacid. Hot fomentation and physiotherapy will have added benefits.
Further medical management can be planned after a clinical examination and investigation by your orthopedic surgeon.
I hope this is helpful to you. If you have any further query, I will be happy to help.
Regards. Thanks.
