Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Dear patient
you seem to be having plantar fascitis. In this condition there is inflammation of the base of calcaneum bone. This happens usually in middle aged patients. Treatment is to use soft heel cushion. Use slippers all the time even in home. Start tab zerodol sp twice a day for pain relief. Do calf stretching excercises before getting out of the bed in morning. Hot wax bath helps a lot. If not relieved in 7 days after all this measures local injection of depomedrol under ultrasound guidance helps in most of the cases.
