Hi,
You have mentioned pain in the back of the feet since 6 months which is now causing you so much trouble that its become difficult to walk as well.
Although there can be many causes for Heel pain like spurs, fascial inflammation, tendinitis, infection, trauma etc but normally Plantar Fascitis, Retrocalcaneal bursitis etc are common causes especially if there is no history of any injury or any s/s of inflammation or infection like swelling, skin redness etc.
This kind of pain is usually due to inflammation of concerned anatomical area. It is chronic pain which gets aggravated especially when you walk more and is better with rest.
Treatment modalities are aimed at relieving inflammation of the fascia, like ice packs, physical therapy , footwear modification and anti-inflammatory therapy.
Do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance. You can also discuss your case and treatment plans with me in a greater detail in a private consultation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Akshay Kumar Saxena
