Brief Answer:
It is called planter fasciitis
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your case and your disease is called Planter fasciitis. It is due to inflammation of the planter fascia. Some time there is bone spur at heel. It can be the cause of inflammation. I have following suggestion to my patients with planter fasciitis.
1. Get x ray to check if there is any bony spur present.
2. Avoid walking bare foot and use soft foot wear. There are ready made silicone insoles available that can be used inside shoes. Also wear soft foot wear.
3. Hot water fomentation twice daily.
3. Tablet Etoricoxib 90 mg if pain is very severe.
4. Steroid injection can be given at planter region which will offer good pain relief.
5. If bone spur is big,then it need to shave of .
I hope these measures will be helpful for you. Let me know if there is any followup questions.
Thanks.
