Heel pain and stiffness
I had heel and ankle pain and stiffness in the morning after getting up from sleep for few weeks so I reached to an orthopaedic surgeon. He told me that it is due to TA Bursitis. He prescribed me Synertab for 10 days and a Calcium Supplement for 15 days and Tapal-D gel twice daily for topical application and alongwith that, he suggested me to wear soft soled shoes with 2 or 2.5 inches heel. And advised me to wear shoes even at home. I am taking the medicines and wearing shoes according to the suggestion of him for currently 8 days. I am better than before but not fully cured till now. Uric acid, Glucose and Vitamin D3 is normal. Please can you suggest anything else!

Heel pain can arise from TA Bursitis and your ankle might pain over its posterior part due to it.
If you have symptoms in the parts as mentioned and you are getting better , kindly follow your doctors advice.
