A member asked:
My feet and ankles are swelling, is that associated with plantar fasciitis?

Not likely: Plantar fasciitis does not usually affect both limbs nor does it cause generalized foot and ankle swelling.

NO: Generally, plantar fasciitis does not cause swelling of either the feet or ankles, but rather a localized pain in the heel. You should see your medical specialist for further workup.
