I am having pain in the heel (near to the region where the skin ends (brown) and (white) heel pad starts. I get pain after walking and is discomforting. I showed to doctor (GP) and did ultrasound, everything is fine. GP told could be sprain from long walks but the pain is there for last 8 months. GP gave muscle relaxants but its not helping. Please advise what could be the problem and which medical specialist can help me?
Ans: Hello Avinash, the heel pain you’re experiencing might be due to plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, or heel pad syndrome. It’s recommended that you consult a physiotherapist for a thorough evaluation, Physiotherapist may use ultrasound and TENS for pain relief, along with providing stretching and strengthening exercises. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
