Q: When should you seek treatment for your heel pain?
A: In most cases, plantar fasciitis is manageable with conservative treatments, often times even at home. However, in some cases, plantar fasciitis isn’t so easy to deal with and can greatly damage a person’s body and lifestyle. Call your doctor...
- If you experience fever alongside redness, swelling, warmth, or tingling in your heel.
- If you experience continuing pain when no weight is put on your heel.
- If you experience a heel injury resulting in pain when weight is put on the heel.
- If pain persists for over a week after trying home treatments such as ice, rest, and over-the-counter pain medicine.
