Diagnosed With Calcaneal Enthesopathy With Tendon Insertion. Stiffness Pain. Are NSAID Enough Yo Halt The Progression Of Disease?
Hi, I have been recently diagnosed with calcaneal enthesopathy, having entheses at both the Achilles tendon insertion as well as the plantar aponeurosis. Although I am in pain now (mostly stiffness pain, like in the morning or after sitting for a wile) I am mostly worried about long-term prognosis. Are NSAIDs enough to halt the progression of the disease?

NSAIDS only provide symptomatic relief of pain and do not modify the disease process. The disease may worsen or improve irrespective of use of NSAIDS.
I hope it helped
