Suggest Treatment For Excruciating Pain In The Heel
After a period of time of sitting down or lying down when I get up to walk I get an excruciating pain in my heels, do you know what could be causing it? It has only started in the last 6 weeks or so and seems to be getting more and more regular Thanks

you are having planter fasciitis with a calcaneal spur
please get an x ray of heel done for correct diagnosis of the spur
in the interim you may try soaking your feet in warm water and use a soft sole shoes.
you may also use a soft gel insole
let me advice you planter fasciatis is an irritating condition and takes a long time to heal
physiotherapy and fomentations help a lot
some time you may need pain reliving medication
but the physical measures work best
