General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

From your symptoms, it seems that you are 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 Aspirin or Ibuprofen at mealtime.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
