Answer 1

You definately need to read up on the fascia, my daughter gets that pain that you have in your heel - in her head. It is more common in the heel. You may want to invest in a large electric handled hand held massager that you can twist to massage your back and neck and hips and down your leg...daily, every morning and night. Type fascia in a search enging, you'll get tons of info.

This could be a sign of the startings of a condition known as Talipes, or clubfoot. As the child develops, keep a acheck on the shape of the foot and look to see whether it curls in naturally when you are, for example, laying her in her crib or changing her diaper. There are several different types of Talipes, the most common being Talipes Equinovarus, where the foot malforms so that the child is effectively walking on their toes and heel, without the center area of the foot touching the floor. The condition is correctible by the wearing of a splint to hold the foot in place while the child is walking, and then later, when older, the child would undergo an operation to break and reshape the foot, thus setting it back into the correct position. I would very strongly advise you see your pediatrician as soon as you can humanly manage.

Here is what you get to do some research on , it is called " PLANTARS FASCIITIS."

My Husband is dealing with this right now. Take Ibuprofen for the inflammation and swelling, ice it (set your foot on an icy gel pack). We put the icy hot patches on the bottom of his foot. He has had it for about 6 weeks now. It seems to be getting better. The pain seems to come and go.

It is inflammation of the muscle and or tendons that run from your heel to the ball of your foot.

Good Luck and Happy New Year.

Plantars wart treatment can be time consuming and you should seek the advice of your podiatrist or primary care physician to see which treatment option is best for you.

Plantar warts are benign growths that appear on the sole, ball of your foot or heel. Excessive pressure from walking or standing for long periods of time causes them to grow deeper into the skin. These warts should not be ignored and you should work with your physician to determine the best plantars wart treatment for you.

Plantar warts are spongy and rough, and are normally brown or gray in color. The wart under the skin is normally two to three times as big as the part of the wart that has surfaced through the skin. The depth of the wart is the reason for the extensive pain associated with plantars warts. If the wart is large enough you can actually experience a lump on the bottom of your foot when you are standing.

Plantar wart treatment consists of over the counter medications, laser treatments, cryotherapy and surgical removal.

Over the counter medications contain an acid chemical that will destroy the skin cells and could damage healthy tissue that is surrounding the wart. These must be used with extreme caution. Once confirmed that you indeed have a plantars wart seeking the advice of your podiatrist and what treatment options he or she recommends is the best start.

In the beginning your podiatrist typically might treat the plantar wart with a mild acid also known as salicylic acid, cantharidin acid or dichloracetic acid. These treatments normally take multiple applications over the course of weeks to a months and the acid treatment will allow the viral cells to disintegrate and allow healthy cells to replace them.

Laser treatment can also be used to treat plantar warts. Your podiatrist will use laser treatment in their office or at an outpatient surgery center using local anesthesia. If you decided to use the laser treatment you will want to discuss the scarring with your podiatrist. Laser treatments have been very successful.

Cryotherapy is when the podiatrist can freeze the plantar wart with sodium nitride which destroys the virus and causes the wart to turn black and fall off normally within a few days to a week.

Cryotherapy has not been very effective as the solution does not penetrate far enough into the wart to destroy the virus.

Surgical removal usually is not recommended to treat plantar warts because it can cause painful scarring. Debridement is performed using anesthesia and can be used with acid to destroy the virus and prevent the warts from re-growing. This treatment would be as a last resort.

There are many options for plantar wart treatment.

Seek the advice of your podiatrist and see which treatment is best for you!

Answer 5

Sounds like you could have a heel spur. Rest (stay off your foot), stretching, massage, anti-inflammatory medications like Ibuprofen, ice packs, and shoe inserts tend to help.

Hope that this helps. I know that I hate it when mine acts up. Have a Happy New Year!

Answer 6

You should also check your shoes and if they are old you might want to replace them. After wearing shoes for a period of time the insole wears and especially if they are inexpensive shoes they will hurt you feet. However, it is always best to seek medical advise especially when it comes to the feet, for problems with the feet can eventually lead to problems with the knees and hips if not properly walking and aligning.

Answer 7

you must go to a specialized doctor to afflict that pain.
