Brief Answer:
Plantar fascitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi there

Thanks for the query

You seem to be suffering from Plantar fascitis.

Usually Microcellular rubber footwear and silicone inserts in the shoes under the heel.

Perform plantar fascia and calf muscle stretching exercises with the help of a Physiotherapist.

Exercise regularly to avoid obesity which can make plantar fascitis worse.

Take Tablet Ibuprofen 400mg twice a day for 5 days after meals and Tablet Rabeprazole twice a day for 5 days before meals.

If the problem isn't reducing inspite of all these measures, do get Xray of the calcaneum to look for excess bone which may need surgery to remove.

I hope I have answered your query.

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.

Regards,

Dr.Aashish Raghu
