Just how healthy are your muscles and joints?
Answer our questions and find out if your flexibility is compromised.
Find out how flexible you areWe can't diagnose but the description sounds like something called 'Plantar fascilitis', that is, inflammtion of the ligament-like tissue that connects your heel to the bones at the base of the toes.
Repeated small injuries or prolonged walking, running or standing are thought to be the main causes.
Being overweight, a tight achilles tendon and a change of shoes to some with little arch support are other causes.
Steroid injections are given in severe cases but generally time (weeks to months), rest and applying some Atrogel 4 times a day should see you through it.
If necessary, buy some arch support inserts and get off your feet when possible.
