Question 3

47 f. casual runner , about 6-9 miles a week of  running. freq. experience plantar fasciitis and hip pains after running. why and what can be done?

Accepted Answer

Running: Are you running on pavement or grass?  Are your footwear and running technique adequate? If so,I think you and your feet and hips would be better off with a different type of aerobic exercise like cycling,swimming,walking. You'd probably avoid hip and knee damage in the future years, also. In my opinion humans are built for walking and not running long distances.

Question 4

severe bunionititis & plantar fasciitis. if i bend over, when i stand up, top of hip, right side, is distinct pop that's very painful. hip, both at top & bottom, both sides, right is more intense, extremely tender and sore to touch?

Accepted Answer

Hip pain: Bilateral bursitis of the hip may be the problem. Taking anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen or naproxen for a week could be effective. You could also try alternating warm and cold compresses several times a day. If symptoms don't improve, I recommend consulting a rheumatologist or orthopedic specialist.

Question 5

i have osteoarthritis in my right hip and knee, now having severe pain in right heal ,but only around outter edge at back of heal. hurts even with rest. ruled out plantar fasciitis. suggestions on what else to look for would be appreciated?

Accepted Answer

Change in gait?: That part of the heel is associated with the Achilles’ tendon insertion. The tendon “fans” out covering the back of the heel.   Tightness to the muscle can cause such problems. I feel consideration to your gate if it has changed due to hip and knee arthritis.  Someone trained in biomechanics should be able to help.

Question 6

should i see rheumatologist? ana negative. bilateral hip bursitis? x3 months, bilateral pain around knees x 1 year, bilateral plantar fasciitis

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes… this still could be an inflammatory  arthritis despite the negative anti-nuclear antibody. And if it is not an inflammatory arthritis, the rheumatologist may be able to send you in a better direction for a treatment plan.

Question 7

i have pain in my hips , knees , ankles and feet . what could b causing it? my blood test came back clear. my doctor says it's plantar fasciitis. i

Accepted Answer

It depends,,,: This sounds right, but it also might depend on how much activity you are used to and whether or not you're overweight.  If you are significantly overweight, this could be the case and it would explain your pain in you hips and knees.  It would be smart to see your doctor if it gets worse and to get an activity regimen outlined for you so you don't do too much and aggravate this.  Good luck.

Question 8

how do i treat plantar fasciitis ?

Accepted Answer

Plantar faciitis: Stretching and nsaids ( aleve, (naproxen) ibuprofen, etc ) are the treatments you can do at home.....If that does not resolve the issue... See a specialist..... You may not have plantar fasciitis... X-rays  and sometimes a MRI are needed to rule out other heel pain causes.

Question 9

what helps heal plantar fasciitis faster?

Accepted Answer

Lots of things: Most cases of plantar fasciiitis will get better with time.  Things that help include comfortable shoes; heel cups or orthotic devices, activity modification, ice, night splints, and probably most importantly, a plantar fasciitis stretching program.  Clearly, if the pain has lasted more than a few weeks, seeing an orthopaedic foot and ankle specialist or a podiatrists is recommended.
