Suggest Remedy For Heel Pain Apart From Ice-packs And Heat Sprays

hello there ... I ve had a slight pain in my left heel about two weeks ago i feel it most when i wake up where i would limp, and in about an hour I d be fine... i am very active & when wearing sneakers I d be fine... however in the last 3 days it s gotten worse.. today even more terrible, where just standing is becoming unbearable. dont think anything is broken... i took a few yoga classes and have felt a pull while during a couple of poses which leads me to believe that it s muscle related....ice is no good, I m currently giving it heat and i feel a bit ease on it. tried WEBMD... gave me all sorts of stuff, because of the long weekend, most offices are closed... not sure whats going on...

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Dear patient
your symptoms indicate diagnosis of plantar fascitis. In this condition there is inflammation of the bottom of heel bone. Soft heel cushion is required for walking shoes. Do calf stretching excercises before getting out of the bed in morning. Start tab zerodol sp twice a day for pain relief. If this is not helping local injection of depomedrol definitely helps.
