Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi .... I’ve got foot pain ... it seems to be centered at the transition point between the arch of my foot and the heel and then toward the side of my heel. It also is slightly swollen in the same side of the heel. I first felt the sharp pain when I was walking. Thoughts?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your description it seems like we are dealing with a condition known as plantar fascitis. Nothing much to worry as of now. You can take analgesics like ibuprofen or diclofenac for pain. Apply hot compresses and avoid weight gain.] If symptoms persist, consult an orthopedic and get evaluated. If symptoms are severe streroid injections may be needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
