Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been getting foot pain for approx. 30 yrs. It started with sharp pains in both arches , diagnosed as plantar fasciitis. It then became more of a numbness on top of both feet & toes & pain in the soles. I've had a plantar release op. on ! foot & tarsal tunnel op. on both , neither successful. Sometimes it's excruciating , other times completely gone.At the moment I'm laid up & VERY frustrated. Would appreciate your advice please. I'm 65.
As per your symptoms there is of calcaneal spur along with plantar fasciitis. It is advisable to wear low heel shoe to maintain centre of gravity of whole body.
You may need x ray heel to see bony overgrowth. Start plantar exercises consulting physiotherapist. Use soft insole in shoes. Take calcium supplement with vit D.
