Suggest Treatment For Plantar Fasciitis And Tendonitis

I am a 41 year old morbidly obese female who is having leg swelling, low or no hormones detected on my last blood work and fatigue. I have been obese but up until August I was walking a mile and half to 3 miles a day and did a 5K in August. I don t believe I could walk a mile today. I have been diagnosed with planters fasciitis and tendonitis so, can t walk much due to that but even without that I don t think I could walk that far. My legs feel heavy and I have also gain about 20 pounds in two month.

I would suggest contrast bath (alternate hot and cold water fomentation of feet) and application of over the counter pain relief gel/diclofenac gel and tendocare collagen powder for tendonitis.You may take these after consulting an orthopedic doctor
