Feeling a lot of pain in my heels when wake up in morning & try to walk. what's the reason & treatment please?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Plantar Fasciitis: Hi, Your symptoms are consistent with a condition called plantar fasciitis, an inflammation of the large tendon on the bottom of the foot. Stretching the calf muscle frequently and anti-inflammatory medicines like Advil (ibuprofen) or Motrin are initial treatments.
