I have heel pain in right leg. MRI report finding states that there is mild thickening of the proximal plantar fascia near calcaneal insertion with increased signal intensity on STIR and PD with peri facial edema suggestive of plantar fascitis. No obvious spur is seen from the inferior surface of the calcaneum. I have taken treatment from a reputed orthopedic doctor for last 2 months including physiotherapy, ultra sound therapy & tense machine. I have always been using well cushioned shoes throughout the day and cushioned slippers within the house. Also i have been regularly doing recommended exercises twice a day coupled with inermittently keeping the heel on ice block for 15 mins. I am wearing ankle protectors too since last 2 months. However there's absolutely no relief from heel pain while walking. Dr. had ruled out surgery. Uric acid test had confirmed that my parameter is well below the limit. What's the next line of available treatment?. Kindly advise.

Ans: Hi, do you have any other symptoms like back pain, back stiffness ? Early morning stiffness ?
Planter fasciitis can be difficult to treat sometimes.
