Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I have been diagnosed with plantar fasciitis. The doctor advised me to use a heel pad. Even after using it, there is no relief. My pain is getting increased gradually. Please help.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
You seem to have plantar fasciitis. It is a fairly common problem. Using a heel pad is helpful but you need to stop walking using barefoot. Do not use any acupuncture type of footwear and use soft footwear. Taking a contrast bath helps you. Take alternative warm and cold water fermentation one after another for a period of ten minutes twice daily. If there is no relief, you can take some conservative treatment using painkillers, and a local steroid injection using Methylprednisolone can be given at the site of pain to have immense relief.
