For the past 6 weeks the heel pain has become more pronounced and is particulalry painful when putting weight on the foot after getting out of bed in the morning and also after periods of inactivity. It is improved somewhat after walking and stretching. Today though, whilst out shopping and being on my feet for a few hours it became very painful, swollen and inflamed. Having done some research on the internet , I have classic symptoms of Planter Fasciitis.
I have made an appontment to see a podiatrist next week but now after reading these posts on this thread i am wondering if I should rather be making an appointment to see my Rheumy. For those of you who have suffered from this condition, what has helped over time. Anyone get insoles/physio? Has this helped? Or was an increase in medication the only thing that did help.
