Painful Heel, Ankles And Back, High Cholesterol Level, High Triglycerides Level. What Is The Cure?
Hi,
I have pain at back side of my heels of both the feet since 2 years. The pain occurs more when I leave the bed in morning and walk. Also when I try to walk after sitting for long time. Pain also can be reproduced by pressing the ankle from back one inch from bottom. I learnt my high cholesterol level (high bad chol, low good chol, high triglyceride) and trying to start some workout but not able to do so due to this issue. Need some advise why this pain is occurring and how can it be cured?

You have to take treatment for hyperlipidemia .
You have to start rosuvastatin to lowers the lipids level.
Heel and ankle pain might be due to some wrong footwear.
Avoid high heeled footwear.Otherwise go for investigations like cbc,urine,uric acid,calcium,b12,fbs,ppbs,d3 to confirm the diagnosis.
Start calcium,b12,d3 and vitamins supplement.
Take nsaid to subside pain during severe episodes.
Go for exercise regularly after getting cure.Avoid oily,high calorie food.
Consult your physician for proper diagnosis and medical management.
