Morning heel pain: Do you have “plantar fasciitis”?

inflammation. Toe stretch: Gently pull your toes upwards with your hand before getting out of bed. When should you see a doctor? If the pain persists for more than 6 weeks, is very severe and you can’t stand, or is accompanied by numbness. The doctor may prescribe a night splint or a cortisone injection if the case is severe. Warning: This information is for awareness purposes only. I do not diagnose or prescribe medication. Heel pain has other causes such as a heel spur or Achilles tendinitis. A proper diagnosis requires an examination by an orthopedist or podiatrist. In short: Morning pain = the plantar fascia is telling you to “give me rest and support.” The solution is not complete rest, but stretching exercises and good shoes. Is the pain only in the morning or also at the end of the day after standing?
