Suggest Treatment For Pain In Sole Of Feet

my daughter had what I thought was a planters wart on the bottom of her foot 8 to 9 years ago; I tried freezing it and all the remedies but the spot never went away. Now, years later she had started saying that the pain when she stepped down was like someone poked her with a hot rod. And now a few more years later she can t step down without severe pain and her foot feels like it s on fire even on the top of her foot, and its sweeling quite often. Trying to get her to go to a dr is like pulling teeth. Any advice.

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
From your symptoms, it seems that she is suffering from plantar fasciitis. It happens due to inflammation of the plantar fascia.
A short term rest and oral anti inflammatory drugs are required to take care of the inflammation.
To help the pain, ice the area immediately after getting up in the morning. You can use either a store-bought cold pack or a frozen wet towel. Ice for 10 or 15 minutes. To reduce inflammation, take an aspirin or ibuprofen at mealtime.
A 4-inch wide Crepe bandage wrapped around the region also helps reduce discomfort.
Calf and anterior (front of) leg stretching and strengthening addresses the biomechanical problems and reduces pain. In selected cases, shoe inserts (orthotics) may be necessary. Shoe inserts are often the key to successful treatment of plantar fasciitis. The shoe inserts often permit patients to continue their routine activities.
If the pain does not resolve, an injection of cortisone can decrease the inflammation of plantar fasciitis.
She may need few physiotherapy sessions along with prescription anti inflammatory drugs after getting yourself examined from an Orthopedician

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
