Many patients ask themselves, "Do I have plantar fasciitis?" Many patients assume they have plantar fasciitis as it is a fairly well known term but there are many types of heel pain. The types of heel pain shown in the video are the most common types of heel pain we see in the office. Based on the location and the type of pain you are experiencing, it is easy to differentiate between let's say plantar fasciitis or achilles tendonitis, and plantar fasciitis or fat pad syndrome. Once you have a proper diagnosis, then you can go about treatment for heel pain successfully.
One question we often get asked is if a patient has plantar fasciitis or heel spur. The reality is, is that people may have heel spurs and never have pain in the heel. Or patients may have plantar fasciitis symptoms and are also told they have a heel spur after receiving an x-ray. A heel spur is only present if there has been enough tension or pulling from the plantar fascia which causes the heel bone to elongate at the plantar fascia attachment site. Patients may experience plantar fasciitis pain with a heel spur or they may not. Treatment is same if a patient has plantar fasciitis or heel spur.
Less common types of heel pain but still seen in the clinic are peroneal tendonitis and posterior tibialis tendonitis. Peroneal tendonitis can affect the outer portion of the heel while posterior tibialis tendonitis (or flexor tendonitis) can affect the inner heel area.

I have a sharp random burning sensation on the outside of my left foot towards the rear of the heel. Also my Achilles tendon does seem to be slightly tight and sore. I have been trying to stretch my calf muscles and Achilles. Does seem to help a little.

Thank you for this video! I have terrible pain on both the outside and inside of my heel as well as fascia hotspots on the bottom of my foot in the heel area and in the outside metatarsal area. I also have a painful eczema-like skin rash on that foot and ankle which makes the skin super sensitive. I actually think the painful skin rash caused the various foot/heel issues due to a domino effect: the skin was super painful, making wearing shoes/socks painful and causing skin to be rubbed off while wearing socks/shoes. The painful raw skin became sores which scabbed over but the scabs kept cracking and expanding due to pressure on the bottom/side of the foot when I walked. Walking became difficult and my gait changed which eventually resulted in the fascia in the foot, ankle and leg to become inflamed. I did a dermatologist’s prescribed two-week steroid cream treatment for the skin rash and it did clear up but came back two months later. The steroid treatment should not be repeated more than two or three times a year. I used non-steroid creams for the skin which did help for a while but with all of the stress and inflammation in the fascia the rash has returned. Add to that I have skin contact allergies to any/all fragrances, surgical glue, Azelaic acid and a lot of other common ingredients in products. With all of this it has been difficult to figure out exactly is now wrong with my foot. At first it seemed as if I had developed plantar fasciitis but I eventually realized that the pain is different that what I experienced when I did have PF about 15 years ago (very painful in the arch): my foot is now not painful in the arch, only in the heel and metatarsal area. I recently started going to a physical therapist for treatment: now I can be more specific in identifying my problem at my next treatment.

I have all foot pain why?like the whole collection i each every time sometime at the same times😢

Hi Great explanation. From what I can tell I think I have Achilles Tendinitis. Really uncomfortable to walk but when is poke my heel with my fingers I can't recreate any pain or discomfort. Only Hurts when walking..... and pain reduced when i walk on tippy toes. Is that common?

@PeakFormHealthCenter 4 ай бұрын

Yes, walking on tippy toes often relieves the symptoms because you are using the muscles that connect into the tendon so that will have an analgesic effect. Affected tendons sometimes really don't like being stretched, so walking stretches the muscles/tendon which then can cause pain.

I just started getting pain on the back of the heel on the inside but at the back. Only on my right foot. I’m halfway through a 8 week practical placement

Sounds like insertional achilles. Definitely keep an I on it and seek some help for exercises if you aren't doing any for it currently

I have recently started getting a sharp pain in my right heel. Its like someone has stabbed me in the centre of the heel. Only happens about two/three times a day but doesnt seem to be any of these things. But painful enough for me to cry out when it happens. The sensation only lasts a minute or so.

@PeakFormHealthCenter 5 ай бұрын

Hard to say over the internet but if its dead center, it is likely a manifestation of fat pad syndrome. Might be early on so not consistent throughout the day. I try taping your heel for fat pad syndrome and see if that takes the symptoms away for those 2-3x per day. If so, keep doing that and then it should help take care of it.

Did MRI,DOCS confirmed plan.fasctis and bruised heal,but there also is swelling on inside of heel,is it related?Thanks

@PeakFormHealthCenter 4 ай бұрын

Not sure how I missed this comment, apologies! When you say swelling inside the heel do that mean on the inner port of the heel? or the MRI showed swelling literally inside the heel bone? If its swelling on the inner part of the heal, with signs of PF and bone bruise, that is all congruent with PF/Fatpad syndrome

I don't have planters.. But I do have a bruised heel. I was riding my mountain bike at a very high speed and I crashed and I tried to put my foot down and by the time I crashed and when I got home. My heel hurt very much, and it's been about 2 weeks now, and it's still very sore. All I've been doing is just icing it down as many times a day as I can. I did go to the hospital they said my heel was not broken That it was very bruised. Do you have any advice for me? What I could do to make it feel better.

@PeakFormHealthCenter 9 ай бұрын

Sorry to hear :/ you are looking at 6-8 weeks minimum. Wear cushioned shoes, or shoes that make it feel better all the time. No barefoot walking, no sandals etc. you can try tuli heel cups which have significant gel padding to help. You could also try taping for the heel; search taping for fat pad syndrome. Keep icing!

Does having sciatica impact heels?

@PeakFormHealthCenter Ай бұрын

Sciatica/radiculopathy can cause heel pain. Sometimes patients have nerve entrapment that presents as heel pain with they keep their leg straight, pull the foot towards them (dorsiflexion), and bend forward towards the straight leg. If it increases the heel, its often nerve entrapment.

Fat Pad Syndrome Taping | San Diego Sports Therapy kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eJNkp7CQnNC2Zp8.html this video shows a simple taping procedure that can help with fat pad syndrome. Stretching calves, rolling the foot and calves, and strengthening the fascia/calves will help with plantar fasciitis.
