This started off 8 months back when I had enrolled for free style dancing classes. My Height is 5ft 3 inches, weight 72kgs., gender - F. Should i continue the activities or stop... as i intend to lose weight.

Hello,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic
I have seen your history and it is a classic case of plantar fascitis.
weight reduction will help as it will decrease the amount of load on your heels.
A course of antiinflammatory medication is also advised. contrast bath and soft silicon heel in your shoes will also be required.
Only precaution required is for you to avoid walking bare foot.
If the condition don't show any improvement in 3-4 weeks physical examination to rule out painful heel pad syndrome will be required.
One more differential needs to be ruled out now stress fracture calcaneum. get an xray done and get it reported. follow up with me at HCM for further query
regards
Dr. Sumit
