Plantar fasciitis : Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation in the tendon that insets on the bottom of the heel. The basic initial treatment includes NSAIDs, gel heel cups, good supportive footwear and stretching the foot before stepping out of bed in the morning. See podiatrist if that doesn't help after 4 weeks
