What is Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis is a common foot condition that involves inflammation of the plantar fascia, a band of tissue that connects your heel bone to your toes.
When it becomes inflamed, it can cause pain in the bottom of your foot. This pain can be sharp or dull and may come and go or stay constant.
The pain usually worsens after periods of rest, such as sitting or sleeping, and becomes less intense when walking. Plantar fasciitis sufferers may also feel stiffness in their feet before getting out of bed in the morning or after sitting for long periods.
Other symptoms include painful heel spur, tingling sensation and possible swelling.
Possible Causes of Plantar Fasciitis
The most common cause of plantar fasciitis is an increase in activity or training on hard surfaces. Other causes include obesity, high-heeled shoes, and pregnancy.
For my case, it’s after my badminton session a couple of months ago. Good thing is that the acute pain diminished after a few days of rest. But since then, every time after my badminton, the acute pain came back with a vengeance. Now, even after I went for a slow jog or power walk, the pain will resurface.
How to Treat & Prevent Plantar Fasciitis
The best way to treat this condition is to take care of it early on. The first thing you should do when you have plantar fasciitis symptoms is rest your feet for a day or two. You can also apply ice packs or cold compresses to relieve pain and reduce inflammation (got this tip from my friend who is a health coach). If you are experiencing intense pain, you can take an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen, aspirin, or naproxen sodium. It’s important to keep weight off your feet as much as possible.
