A member asked:

I stepped on a rock bare foot in my yard 4 days ago and my heel still hurts, . what can cause this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

The trauma: Of you stepping on the rock. You likely bruised the soft tissue structures and may have developed plantar fascitiis as a result. Icing the foot when possible and antiinflammatories like Motrin is a good start.
