Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Age 79, caretaker for wife, experiencing relatively sudden onset pain in left heel - hard to bear weight. Have been taking 50mg trazadone for sleep. I take it about 9:00 PM along with 3mg of melatonin. The heel pain seemed to start about same time I started trazadone. Pain is worse late in day. This has continued for about 2 - 3 weeks now. Some days better than others. I do use alcohol - 2-3 oz. whiskey late afternoons most days. I have never smoked.

Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain In The Heels
Hi welcome to the health care magic Here without physical examination it is difficult to give one specific diagnosis Bursitis, tendinitis, plantar fascitis, ankle sprain, arthritis like causes has to be ruled out For that physical examination and local part x ray needs to be done .... For primary work up ESR also should be done Ibuprofen can be prescribed If inflammation or strain is the cause Avoid weight bearing on heel for prolonged duration Consult orthopedic surgeon for examination and accordingly further treatment plan Take care Hope your concern solved
