What Can Cause Intense Pain From Heel To Toe?
There s intense pain on my feet from the heel to the toe. I am 43 years old and run about 30-40 kms/week. There s no pain when I am running, but pain gets intense early in the mornings and when I get up after sitting for a while. I am icing it and doing the basic stretches. After taking a break of 2 weeks from running, can I continue my usual running routine or will that cause any permanent damage?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to plantar fasciitis.
That's an irritation or inflammation of the band of tough tissue connecting the heel bone to the toes.
Usually, it hurts the worst in the morning when you're getting out of bed.
Wear shoes with good arch support and a cushioned sole.
I also suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
