Suggest Remedy For Pain In Heels
Sir, i am of the hight 173 cm and my weight is 95 kg. I did have a regular check up regarding my weight and my doctor said as i dont have any medical problems i will gradually loose weight on trying which i have started to. After my delivery 3 years back, I started to experience this pain in my heels only when i stand on them after relaxing. It s there just for a few minutes or at times seconds. Example, in the morning, i find it difficult to stand because of this pain. but after a few seconds or minutes, the pain is gone and i get back to my daily routine. This pain comes back if i sit in a position where my heels are relaxed and once i try standing on them, it again comes for a few seconds. Please tell me is there anything i have ot be concerned about?

Hi,
Pain in the heels is usually because of excessive weight or stiff footwear. I would suggest you to decrease weight by at least 10 kgs and change footwear which is soft and has some cushioning. You could also avoid standing for long duration and some exercises and walk would certainly help. You can also get serum levels of calcium and vitamin D3 checked in case deficient then supplementation would help.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
