Plantar fasciitis
Symptoms & Signs
The most common complaint is pain in the bottom of the heel. It is usually worst in the morning and may improve throughout the day. By the end of the day the pain may be replaced by a dull aching that improves with rest. Most people complain of increased heel pain after walking for a long period of time.
Diagnosis & Tests
Typical physical exam findings include: - Mild swelling
- Redness
- Tenderness on the bottom of the heel
X-rays may be taken to rule out other problems, but having a heel spur is not significant.
