Hi Anita, all your symptoms typically suggests that you have Plantar fascitis . Nothing to worry as such as this is a benign problem. Though simple, this condition generally takes a chronic course. The management for this problem will be as follows : - Analgesic /antiinflammatory medications as and when required - Soft cushioned foot wear - reducing body weight (if overweight) - simple stretching of the toes before getting out of bed - if all the above measures fail, then a steroid injection into the most tender area is required, which will be done by an orthopedic surgeon. Hope this helps
