I have pain in my right heal, but only when I m not on my feet for a little while and then it hurts for five or ten minutes while walking, but then it quit hurting as long as I m walking on it, but if I sit or stand in one spot for very long it gets very painful again. Thank you
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It could be due to plantar fasciitis, which can be caused by excessive pressure on feet, improper footwear,long distance walking or running etc. Use proper footwear which is soft on your joints,take adequate rest until pain resolves,it may take few weeks to go down.Take analgesics if you have more pain.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
