Home Remedies For Heel Pain (Plantar Fasciitis)

Plantar Fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain & greatly impacts our daily lives and activities like standing, walking, jogging, running, etc. Plantar fasciitis is common among Diabetics, however not exclusive.

The hallmark feature is to experience a sharp shooting pain in the heels while taking a 1st step in morning, and/or after a period of inactivity. This pain is due to an internal swelling secondary to micro-tears in the soft tissues around the heal. This swelling increases during the period of inactivity like sitting and sleeping and pain disappears after walking for about 15-20 minutes.

We suggest a few useful home remedies to help you fight this problem:

1. Give rest to your feet.
2. Use soft footwear at all times.
3. Avoid wearing high heel foot wear.
4. Silicon heel cup shoe-inserts can be used in official footwear.
5. Roll your feet over ice bottle or ice pack at least 3 times a day.
6. Stretching exercises for ankles and toes must be done at least twice a day.
7. Check your blood sugars, thyroid and Vitamin D & B12 levels.
8. Over the counter anti-inflammatory gives good relief from pain.

With the regular implementation of the above methods, in majority of the cases, heel pain subsides completely.

However, in some cases, the healing process takes time from a few months to a year and need further treatment like:

1. Local steroid injection.
2. Platelet Rich Plasma injection.
3. Surgical release of Plantar Fascia.

    Before and After Knee Replacement Surgery

    FAQS

    Knee replacement is required for advanced arthritis of the knee joint, producing painful limitation of movements and restriction in activities of daily living. Knee replacement as a solution should be offered when all non–surgical methods of treatment failed and painkiller medicines and injections also failed to reduce the Knee and hip pains.

    Knee replacement can be total or unicondylar, depending on the number of compartments involved. Among the total knee replacement, there are two popular designs- Cruciate Retaining, and Posterior Stabilized. The decision for the design is best taken by the operating orthopedic surgeon based on the integrity of ligaments. Patella resurfacing as a routine is a debatable subject.

    Yes, most knee replacement surgeries are minimally invasive, with numerous benefits to the patient, including smaller incisions, less tissue trauma, bleeding and post–operative pain, shorter hospital stays, faster recovery, and earlier return to work and activities — in weeks rather than months. Advantages of Minimally Invasive Knee Replacement Surgery. Patients Start walking in few hours of surgery. Patients start climbing the staircase from second day of his surgery. Patients Discharge with in 3 Days from the Hospital after surgery. No blood loss during the surgery, no blood Transfusion required. Less Physiotherapy.( No Physiotherapist required for home) Less Antibiotic. Stitchless Surgery. Recovery time is just two – three week.

    Bilateral knee replacement in the same sitting, can be performed if both the knee joints are damaged to the same extent, however, the medical condition of the patient, and bone quality must be kept in consideration.

    Surgery through Minimally Invasive technique patients start walking on the same day and staircase climbing starts from the second day of surgery. Patients can resume his work after 3 – 4 week.

    The most significant risks include Infection, Deep vein thrombosis,and Aseptic loosening of implants. The risks correlate with the co-morbid medical condition, and must be discussed with the patient before surgery.

    Patients normally require hospitalization for 3-4 days in single knee replacement, and up to 5-6 days in both knee replacement surgery

    A single knee replacement takes approximately 90 min- 2 hours. Both knee replacement surgery takes approx 2-3 hours.

    Years ago, knee replacement surgery was reserved for elderly patients due to a high complication rate and lack of implant durability. Modern techniques have allowed orthopaedic surgeons to base surgical decisions on a patient’s pain and disability, and not necessarily chronological age. Most patients who undergo knee replacement are between the ages of 50 and 80, but surgeons evaluate patients individually and primarily on their physiologic age and demands.

    Patients can resume his/her light work after discharge from the hospital, no need for rest.

    Patients are given epidural anesthesia for surgery, and post op pain relief. They are expected to follow instruction from physiotherapist regarding muscle training.
