Symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis?

The most common symptoms of plantar fasciitis are:

• pain and tenderness in the bottom of the heel;
• pain at its worst (sharpest) first thing in the morning;
• pain that progresses into a dull ache by the end of the day;
• possible mild swelling;
• heel pain after walking or standing for a long time;
• pain that develops gradually;
• pain that affects only one foot;
• difficulty bending the toes towards the shin (called “dorsiflexion” of the foot).

The Plantar Fascia will endure a lot of stress before there will be any obvious pain.  This is because the pain results from continuous and prolonged tears that occur in the Plantar Fascia.

The continuous tearing that takes place leads to inflammation, pain in the heel and bruising at the heel bone attachment.

The pain is usually felt at the bottom part of the heel and also in the interior of the heel.  The pain can also be felt in the arch of the foot or in the area close to the toes.  People who have Plantar Fasciitis usually describe the pain as a sharp and hot sensation.

The pain is usually at its most intense during the first steps you take at the start of the day.   After walking for a period of time after that the pain will gradually lessen and even disappear.   But after a period of time as well, the sharp pain will return.

Another symptom is that the sufferer will be having difficulty bending the foot and bending the toes towards the shin.

The best way to determine if you do have Plantar Fasciitis is to undergo a physical examination.  An x-ray can reveal that you have a heel spur.

This would mean that the Plantar Fascia was stretched and pulled excessively for a long period of time already.
