Hi, thanks for writing to HCM. There are numerous causes for pain in the heel of foot. A detailed clinical examination and appropriate investigations are needed to establish a proper diagnosis. The treatment of plantar fascitis (if it is confirmed) is as follows - * Relative rest and simple massage of the foot along with stretching exercises * Judicious use of analgesic antiinflammatory medicines * Night splints may be useful to keep the foot in plantigrade position * Use of MCR (micronised rubber) or silicon heels in the foot wear * Maintaining appropriate body weight so as to reduce the load bearing on the heels * At time a single injection of corticosteroid in to the area of maximum pain will provide good pain relief. Hope this information is helpful. Good day
