I have been suffering from severe pain under my heel which makes it difficult for me to walk. I got a blood check up which shows 8.2 uric acid level.

Hi, this is Dr Hitin Mathur, foot and ankle surgeon practicing in Delhi NCR. Welcome to Practo. High uric acid could be one cause of heell pain. A tight plantar fascia or tight calf could also contribute to the same. A malalignment of the foot or low vitamin D can also be additive cause. So examination of the feet will help in finding the offending cause. Calf stretching and plantar fascia stretching exercises in consultation with a physiotherapist will be helpful. Dietary modifications for uric acid and some medications for the same would be required.
