Symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis
Generally the first tell-tale sign of plantar fasciitis is heel pain during the first steps after getting out of bed or sitting for a long period of time. The degree of heel pain can sometimes lessen with activity, leading to a false sense of relief. The pain often returns after prolonged rest or extensive walking. Pain often progresses if the condition is left untreated and can become excruciating and persistent as the ligament is more severely strained. Heel pain is usually located on the medial (inside) area of the heel.
Common Symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis:
- Starts as a dull, intermittent heel pain or arch
pain, progressing to a sharp, persistent pain.
- A sharp, piercing pain and/or inflammation through
heel and foot that usually occurs in the morning or after resting and
gradually disappears with walking.
- Tightness in calf muscles or Achilles tendon.
- Noticeable heel pain after long periods of standing
or walking.
- Heel pain worsens when climbing stairs or standing on
the toes.
- Heel pain lessens with activity but returns during rest.
