Hello,
Your sister may be suffering from plantar fasciitis or chronic foot strain, this commonly occurs due to improper footwear or overuse. I would suggest her to wear a soft cushioned footwear (Ortho sole). Hot fomentation daily once when she gets up and once before going to bed. She can keep both her foot immersed in lukewarm water for 20 minutes. For pain relief she can apply any topical pain relieving gel or balm (diclofenac gel).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Santosh S Jeevannavar, Orthopedic Surgeon
