How To Treat Tender And Painful Heel?
Hello, My right heel has been tender and hurting to walk on it for the last 3 weeks. I thought it was gout but the medication is not helping. I soaked my feet in salt water for 2 hours and then went to bed waking up with no pain. It has come back today.

Hello,
It could be a planter fascitis, give hot fomentation,apply diclofenac gel, wear very soft cushion shoes,take anti inflammatory and if it not works than get steroid injection in your heal.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
