A member asked:
The bottom of my foot near my heel is very painful and i can't put my full weight on it. ibuprofen not helping?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Plantar fasciitis??: Your heel pain is a protective mechanism designed to limit the amount of pressure and damage to your heel. If you continue to walk on it the damage will increase and cause further pain. Taking the ibuprofen may aid in some of the reactive inflammation but it does not attack the problem, in fact it may only mask the problem. You need to have an x-ray and evaluation to assess the true problem.
