plantar faciilitis
(3 discussions)
many appologies if I appeared rude wondering where answers to queries were. I genuinly didn’t understand the format. have got it now and will be patient!thankyou so much for your reply saying it sounds like plantar faciilitis, however I have not at any time had pain in my heels. the pain started in left foot under arch, and I noticed that there was small swollen lump at rear of arch, like varicose vein type thing. it has now moved on to both feet with pain situated mainly round arches but is hard to tell which makes me curl up my toes as I walk as it hurts. some days are better than others. could this still be the above. if so I will not bother you again and go to g.p. thankyou for your kindness.

Yes it still could be Plantar fasciitis. Tou can have several variations on that however. A slight tear, a plantar fibroma ( “knot” of hard fibrous tissue that is usually found on the medial or inside border of the Plantar fascia.) are all possibilities. The heel spur comes later as the body’s response to the chronic inflammation. If you go to a doctor make it a podiatrist or orthopedist. I’m not sure how it works for you folks in the UK. Good luck.
