Brief Answer: Planter fasciitis needing pain medications and steroid shot. Detailed Answer: Warm Welcome. I appreciate your trust in HCM and assure you are on best portal on the globe for expert online medical services. I have thoroughly reviewed health query you raised, and well realize all of those concerns. Being your physician, I will take care all of them today and will extend my expertise to solve the problems. Based on what you said, it can be said with fair certainty that you are suffering from planter fasciitis. It mainly results in pain in the heel and bottom of the foot and is seen often in clinical setup. The pain is usually most severe with the first steps of the day or following a period of rest. If I were your physician, I would first do an x-ray foot which usually show a heel spur although an absence of spur does not rule out fasciitis. I would recommend you: • Take rest for a day or two. • Diclofenac K 50mg twice daily can be taken for pain relief. • If this is not sufficient, a steroid injection is advised which is injected at the site of maximal pain on heel. Most of the patients improve after this remedy. Surgery is considered only after conservative treatment has failed to resolve the issue after six months and has been rarely needed. Hope I addressed all the concerns you have. Let me know if you have further questions. I will be more than happy to clear any doubts. Keep a follow up to see how you doing. Regards! Dr. Ali Raza
