Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 58-year-old male who has been diabetic for 15 years. I have been suffering from heel pain in my right ankle for a few months. I take Amryl 4mg twice. Traviamate 50/500 40mg 2 times Stat A 10 mg and Advent 80mg 1 time for heel pain. I also got my blood test done and the uric acid levels are 8.37. I have also tried exercising but found no change. Kindly help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I can understand your concern.
The most common cause of heel pain is plantar fasciitis, and the uric acid levels are also raised. This is a condition in which the fascia or the tissue at the heel is inflamed, and pain is there especially in the morning after getting up from sleep. Normally, the plantar fascia acts like a shock-absorbing bowstring, supporting the arch in your foot. If tension on that bowstring becomes too great, it can create small tears in the fascia. Repetitive stretching and tearing can cause the fascia to become irritated or inflamed. I suggest you follow the below-mentioned instructions:
I advise you to consult a specialist talk to them, and take the medications with their consent.
I hope this information will help you.
Thank you.
