Hi, I feel pressure from the heel bone in both feet. The skin in that area become more red and thick. It seems like I have a bump on heel. It?s does?t look good from behind. Also i?m heaving hard time to pick comfortable shoes. Most of cases whatever shoes I get my feet get tired and pulse. What this could possibly be and how do I treat it?

Keep your foot in warm water for 10-15 mins. Use healged pad cushions in shoes while wearing shoes or sandles. Take ultrasound therapy for 10 days. Its due to formation for some calci near heel. There is nothing to worry about it. Avoid pressure or prolongrd standing.

Rest as much as possible. Apply ice to the heel for 10 to 15 minutes twice a day. Wear shoes that fit properly. Wear a night splint, a special device that stretches the foot while you sleep. Use heel lifts or shoe inserts to reduce pain. Do an x-ray of affected heel. Consult online with details.

Stretching and strengthening exercises or use of specialized devices may provide symptom relief. These include: physical therapy. A physical therapist can instruct you in a series of exercises to stretch the plantar fascia and achilles tendon and to strengthen lower leg muscles, which stabilize your ankle and heel. A therapist might also teach you to apply athletic taping to support the bottom of your foot. Night splints. Your physical therapist or doctor might recommend that you wear a splint that stretches your calf and the arch of your foot while you sleep. This holds the plantar fascia and achilles tendon in a lengthened position overnight and facilitates stretching. Lifestyle and home remediesto reduce the pain of plantar fasciitis, try these self-care tips:maintain a healthy weight. Lose weight if you're overweight or obese to minimize stress on your plantar fascia. Choose supportive shoes. Avoid high heels. Buy shoes with a low to moderate heel, good arch support and shock absorbency. Don't go barefoot, especially on hard surfaces. Don't wear worn-out athletic shoes. Replace your old athletic shoes before they stop supporting and cushioning your feet. If you're a runner, buy new shoes after about 400 to 500 miles of use. Change your sport. Try a low-impact sport, such as swimming or bicycling, instead of walking or jogging. Apply ice. Hold a cloth-covered ice pack over the area of pain for 15 to 20 minutes three or four times a day or after activity. Or try ice massage. Freeze a water-filled paper cup and roll it over the site of discomfort for about five to seven minutes. Regular ice massage can help reduce pain and inflammation. Stretch your arches.
