Get tests done.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have read your query.

Heel pain may be due to many reasons, for perfect diagnosis to be made you need to have serum uric acid, RA factor quantitative, E.S.R. C.R.P, x-ray heel lateral view.

Send me all the reports.

Till then Take 1 tab. aceclofenac+serratiopeptidase three times a day or as needed. Drink a lot of water.

Wear sport shoes and try to avoid hard shoes and leather shoes.

I hope it helps.

Thanks.

Dr.Singh.
