There are many causes of heel pain, including plantar fasciitis, metatarsal fusion, incomplete sub-heel fat pad and heel tunnel syndrome. It is due to long-distance walking, which causes repeated pulling of the plantar fascia and short toe tendons at the attachment site of the calcaneal tuberosity, resulting in aseptic inflammation. People with flat feet are more susceptible to strain. Over time, inflammation gradually fibrosis and calcification form heel spurs. When the heel and midfoot joints are congenitally connected by fibers, joint inflammation is prone to occur under the long-term involvement of the above stimulation. Due to the existence of these arthritis, heel pain may occur.

Guidance: Treatment: 1. Plantar fasciitis: Try wearing inverted shoes, raise the inner arch of the foot, or put a hollowed-out sponge washer under the heel. If necessary, non-opioid drugs can be used for pain relief. If the pain persists or is severe, consider local anesthetics such as hormone injection. If the injection site is accurate, the effect is better. 2. Functional defect of the subheel fat pad: antipyretic analgesics, and long-acting local anesthetics can be used for blockade if necessary. 3. Heel canal syndrome: antipyretic analgesics, and long-acting local anesthetics and hormones can be injected into the heel canal if necessary. Transcutaneous electrical stimulation can also be used for pain relief. Surgical release can be used in very rare cases. 4. Heel bursitis: Surgical treatment, antipyretic analgesics and local anesthetics plus hormone injection can be used.
