Podiatrist eval: There are many possible causes of foot pain. Plantar fasciitis is a common cause which leads to pain in the bottom of the heel which may present when you first stand up. See your friendly podiatrist to see what the cause of your pain is.

Many possibilities: Your pain could be as a result of many different things. A thorough history and physical exam and possibly some laboratory and radiology exams are needed to determine the exact cause. Causes of pain may include: trauma (fracture, sprain, arthritis), infection, metabolic conditions (gout), musculoskeletal or biomechanical abnormality and neurologic conditions (neuropathy).
