Specializes in Podiatry

Stress fracture: Though a less likely cause of heel pain, stress fractures continue to hurt and likely hurt more with activity while plantar fasciitis usually resolve after a short period of time after getting up. Diagnosis is clinical exam, xrays and if unsure MRI or bone scan.
