Foot Pain

[Guest guest]

Gagan,

I presume you mean Plantar Fasciitis, which is

inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thin layer of

tough tissue supporting the arch of the foot.

 

To reduce pain and help prevent future episodes of

discomfort, stretch the calves on a regular basis.

Stand with your hands against a wall. With one foot

forward and one back, press against the wall, shifting

weight over the front foot, while straightening the

back leg. Keep the heel of the back foot on the floor

and feel the stretch in the heel, Achilles tendon and

calf. Then, switch legs.

A similar stretch can be done by standing on a stair

step with only the toes on the stairs. The back

two-thirds of the feet hang off the step. Drop the

heel down and put the weight on the heel. By leaning

forward to balance, the heel, Achilles tendon and calf

will be stretched. A similar stretch can be performed

when standing where the heel is on the floor and the

front part of the foot is on a wood 2x4 or even a 4x4

if one's foot is flexible enough.

Stand and then raise up on the tips of the toes a few

times.

put a few marbles on the floor near a cup. Keep the

heel on the floor and use the toes to pick up the

marbles and drop them in the cup.

Celecoxib capsules along with one ointment . Also I am undergoing to a

Treatment of plantar fasciitis must begin with determining if the condition is

primary or secondary plantar fasciitis. Primary plantar fasciitis makes up at

least 90% of all cases of planar fasciitis.

Dear Gagan,

Itz enough if you are going to physiotherapist, they will make u to undergo all

the exerscises mentioned, just continue it. Take celecoxib if you appreciate to

much of pain. You can take upto 2 capsules /day. When you start feeling better u

may discontinue its use.

 

1. Reduce weight if u are obese

2. wear soft shoes/slippers

3. Don t walk on rough or uneven surface.

 

Best,

pal
