The same almost disappears during the day. Hardly I feel the pain during the day. Or work as a software engineer and work for 10 hours per day.

Dear lybrateuser, - Your pain could be due to a condition called plantar fascitis, a painful condition of the fascia near the heel bone attachment - apply ice pack 2-3 times a day - wear proper support shoes with soft insole - do stretching exercises of the lower leg muscles & Achilles tendon to strengthen the ankle & tendons - get an x- ray of the heel done to rule out a bony growth( calcaneal spur) of the heel - a pain relief tablet can be taken 2-3 times after meals to reduce pain & inflammation.

Get treated with Ultrasonic therapy which would directly heal the calcaneal spur (inflammation of the calcaneum bone) which causes the heel pain in majority of the cases. Along with ultrasonic therapy, shortwave diathermy also can be given. Simultaneously it is better to wear MCR chappals (micro cellular rubber) which will help to transfer the weight evenly in the feet so that the weight will be completely felt in the heel area. Simultaneously it is better to wear MCR chappals (micro cellular rubber) which will help to transfer the Plantar Fascitis weight evenly in the feet so that the weight will be completely felt in the heel area. You shall do contrast bath to relieve this pain. Contrast bath is nothing but keeping in one tub hot water (bearable heat) and in another tub cold water Ask your father to apply ice in the painful area which would definitely help to greater extent. If still the pain persists then it is better to keep TENS stimulation at one of the nearby physiotherapy clinics.
