Hii Your mother might be having either of the two common conditions 1. Planter Fascitis 2. Retrocalcaneal bursitis/ Achilles tendonitis For better advice and management kindly connect with me on practo..

Heel pain, in this age group is due to 2 very common conditions. Plantar fascitis If it's exactly on the under surface of the sole or Retrocalcaneal bursitis if it's behind the ankle. For both these conditions, gentle heel stretching exercises are advised. It may take a while to see come significant difference. Heel stretching can be done using a thin towel under the toes and gentle pulling with the knees fully extended.  Apply hot fomentation before the stretching and ice after. Hot is to relax the muscles and cold is to prevent inflammation.

Hello dear Thanks for reaching out. You have not mentioned basic demographic profile of your mother including her age, and height, weight. Please consult back with the details. i would prefer a video consult for i need to see the exact site of pain and other findings. Regards Dr Vipin Gupta

Please specify the exact location of the pain as heel pain can be due to multiple reasons. A picture would help to localise the pain.
