My wife 65 years is having severe pain in the left heal especially when get up and walk after getting up from sleep . Pl advice a remedy

Question

Hi Mr. Lybrate-user, I appreciate you seeking help. Given the description of symptoms, I would recommend the following natural steps to manage the heel pain suitably -
(a) regular stretching of the feet.
(b) ensure that she does not undertake any kind of hard physical exercises including jumping, jogging, running etc all. (c) use soft/ cushioned shoes to support the heels comfortably while at home and also outside.
(d) apply ice cold treatment (use an ice bag preferably) topically on the heal for about 5 minutes, 2 times daily.
(e) apply homeopathic'traumeel' cream topically, two to three times daily.
(f) take rest and avoid repetitive strains so as to arrest any further injures to the heel (s).
(g) simultaneously, she may take extra-corporeal shock wave therapy from a physiotherapist.
Hope this helps alleviate her present concerns. Should she still face issues, you can get the tlc, crp & uric acid blood tests done for her and connect with me for further traction. Do take care and all the very best.
