Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Heels

I have pain that started a few weeks ago in my heel mostly on my left side but sometimes in both heels. It has gradually migrated to my left leg entirely. Pain is now centralized to the back/outside/bend of left knee and down the outside of my calf especially when sitting. Sometimes it feels like electrical shocks in my left heel or tiny needles.

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Pain in heel that is radiating to leg with pins and needles like sensation can be due to causes like Planter Fascitis, Achilles Tendonitis, Heel spurs, Arthritis,Haglund's Deformity, Tarsal tunnel syndrome, Bursitis etc..

I would suggest you to consult a Podiatrist or an Orthopedician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like x ray, MRI scan, Fluoroscopy can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..

You can be advised to take medications like anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen or Naproxen, muscle relaxants, orthotics to support the feet and put inside shoes..
You can also be advised Physiotherapy and also wear proper fitting shoes..
Warm or cool compresses can be advised depending upon the cause..
Heel cups can also be advised..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
