Heel Pain can be sign of an injury such as a twist, but generally it is the result of repetitive heel pounding
Plantar fasciitis is a very common cause of Heel Pain . The thick fibrous bands at the bottom of the heel get inflamed and cause excruciating pain. The pain occurs the moment you step out of bed. After a few hours, the pain does subside but can return after prolonged periods of standing. Plantar Fasciitis is most common in runners, obese individuals, women who are pregnant and those who wear shoes with inadequate heel support. The treatment of this agonizing disorder involves pain control, steroid injections and rest.
