Heel Pain Problem
Heel pain in adults is different from children. It typically occurs in people who are early-middle age and older. This type of pain generally begins slowly and continues to get worse. Initially it feels like a bruise until, little by little, it develops into sharp,stabbing pain. There are many causes of heel pain, but the most common form is pain that occurs to the inner heel upon standing from a sitting or laying position. The pain is intense for several minutes or longer, depending on the severity, and gradually eases. Unfortunately, this heel pain condition starts in one heel and sooner than later is experienced in both heels. People who suffer with this type of heel pain can’t recall anything specific they did that caused it to happen. They didn’t stumble and land hard on their heel, or cause trauma. The first place most people search for medical advice is the internet. Do an internet search for heel pain and the first listings are for a condition called plantar fasciitis.
