Pain in the heel area
Hi.
My husband is having acute pain in the heel area.
This has happened earlier when he would drive for 3000-4000km car in a month.
From past 4-5 months neither has he worn uncomfortable shoes nor drove any vehicle.
Can you please explain the cause of pain.

1.It’s basically a either calcaneal spur or calcaneal bursitis or plantar fasciitis ..
2.Start using soft memory foam sports shoe or u can use silicone heal pad . This will reduce friction caused due to heal rubbing on ground creating inflammation at that point ..
3.apply ice or use a water bottle freez it and roll under your feet and heal.
4. Plantar stretch excersies. Check on you tube
5. Medicine to reduce pain and swelling ( inflammation)
