Heel pain

The plantar fascia is a ligament that connects the heel to the toe
When excess stress is placed on the plantar fascia, one of the major transmitters of weight when walking there is trouble in the making.This is what heel pain is what heel is all about.
How and why
Heel pain or plantar fascitis is a common condition thst affects about 10 percent of the population..
As one gets older, the plantar fascia becomes less like a rubber band , and more like a rope that doesn't stretch well.The fat pad on the heel becomes thinner, it may not absorb as much shock caused by walking like before. The extra shock damages plantar , this may cause it to swell , tear or bruise   you will now detect a bruise , or swelling on your heel .
Symptoms& Diagnosis
Symptoms are typically worse, first thing In the morning, when the plantar fascia is taut , even simple  movements brings on pain. As the fascia loosen , the pain may subside , but can return after prolonged walking or standing .
When one has plantar fascitis, the planter fascia becomes inflamed and sore , making normal activity , or walking painful ..Other indications may be pain felt at the bottom of the heel , usually worse upon rising , or pain that increases over a period of time .
Dr .will enquire about the type of pain you have, when it occurs and how long you've had it, or what gives you relief , or what aggravates the problem .
When required your dr. may advise certain diagnostic imaging , studies   such as an X Ray , so distinguish  the different  types of heel pain ,or out heel spurs .
