Hello, I have got heel pain from last 2 months and the pain is not subsiding and is more in the morning, i have tried doing the exercises changed my footwear but nothing is working What can be done for it?

Ans: Heel pain could be due to calcaneal spur, plantarfascitis, calf muscle trigger point or due to lumbosacral issues. Since your heel pain is for last 2 months it is advisable to go to either an orthopedic or physiotherapist.
They will guide you if any further investigation like an x-ray required and depending on the diagnosis the treatment may consist of Ultrasound therapy, calf muscle release, medications like NSAIDs.
Even through you have changed your footwear a tailor made footwear may be required as guided by the health professional.
Home remedy for heel pain is usually to dip your leg in warm water for 10 minutes followed by dipping it in cold water for 10 minutes. This can be done twice a day. It is better to do some calf stretches in the morning in the bed itself before putting your heel on the floor.
Feet are very important as they are the main weight bearing joints for the body hence it is necessary to be pain free in the feet area as any pain in the feet can affect the bio-mechanics of entire body.
All the best for your speedy recovery from heel pain!
