My mother have a severe pain in her heels. And her heels are burning too in all day and night. Please give advice for medicines and causes of this problem. She is also a patient of osteoarthritis since 5 years.

Burning could be a problem of pantothenic acid deficiency. If the pain is localised to heel, it can be plantar fascitis as well.

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.
