Hello,
I need to ask before, since when did you feel the pain? Besides the pain is there any other complaints you feel? Whenever the pain is felt? How is the description of the pain?
I suspect that there has been inflammation of the
connective tissue connecting the toes with the heel region. This is called
plantar fasciitis. This is often due to excessive activity or shoes that are less suitable.
The causes of plantar fasciitis include:
1. Excessive physical activity
2. Trauma on recurrent heels
3.
Arthritis or inflammation of the joints
4. Diabetes
5. Abnormal leg mechanics. Flat or too curved arches or abnormal walking patterns may result in unbalanced weight distribution received by both feet, and cause additional stress on the plantar fascia
6. Shoes that do not fit. Shoe sole is thin, lose or no support for the foot arch or no ability to absorb the beat does not protect our feet.
In most cases, pain from plantar fasciitis will disappear by itself without surgery or other invasive treatments, but in certain cases it is still necessary to administer non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as
Ibuprofen,
Mefenamic Acid, and
Diclofenac. In addition, steroid injections may be given to the site of pain. Reduce your activity and choose footwear that matches the shape and size of your feet. Compress the heel with cold water when it feels pain, and do regular
physiotherapy by bending the ankle and thumb upward using 1 hand. And keep your weight to stay ideal.
If after applying the tips above, the complaint is not felt better then you should immediately consult an orthopedist for further evaluation and optimal handling.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
