About
Inflammation of the plantar fascia — the thick band of tissue connecting the heel to the toes. Causes stabbing heel pain, worst with the first steps in the morning.
What it feels like
Sharp, stabbing heel pain worst with the first steps after waking
Pain that improves with movement but worsens after prolonged standing
Tenderness on the bottom of the foot near the heel
Stiffness in the heel and arch, especially in the morning
Pain after long periods of sitting when first standing up
When to get help
See a doctor if heel pain is severe, does not improve with rest and basic home treatment after 6 weeks, affects both feet, or is accompanied by numbness or tingling — these may indicate a different diagnosis.
