Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain In The Heel While Having Plantar Fascia
Yes i have plantar fasciiis and have been taking 1000 mg of ibuprofen for almost a month. I am still feeling some pain in the bottom of my foot. My friend mention to me about a herbal capsule form of Turmeric Curcumin 500 mg. The bottle that i bought today says Whole Herb Turmeric Curcumin 500 mg. Will this help my foot.
Herbal treatments are not licensed in treating plantar fasciitis. You will need to do some physiotherapy to help the fascia stretch and thus relieve the pain. Sometimes, if no improvement with ibuprofen and physiotherapy, local steroid and lignocaine injections can be tried.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Antoneta Zotaj General and Family Physician
