Could heel pain after sitting a long time be a sign of plantar fasciitis?

Your symptoms sound like plantar fasciitis. The plantar fascia is a tough band of tissue. It runs from the heel along the sole of the foot toward the toes.

This common and painful condition is due to tears and inflammation of the plantar fascia. People usually complain of pain when they walk, especially after a period of rest. Although this often occurs without any other associated condition, it is more common in people who are overweight, have flat feet, or after periods of prolonged standing, jumping or running.

There is also an association between plantar fasciitis and diabetes. The only way to know you have plantar fasciitis is to see your doctor. X-rays and blood tests are usually not helpful in diagnosing this condition.

Treatment options include:resta change in activitiesa change in the type of shoesphysical therapy (which may include stretching, exercises, or ice massage)arch supports (especially if you have flat feet)anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen or naproxenweight loss (this may reduce the chance that plantar fasciitis will return)good control of diabetes (although the effect of this on plantar fasciitis is uncertain)Overall, these measures are quite successful. See a podiatrist or an orthopedist for cases that do not respond quickly. Other treatments may include:prescription footweara castshoe insertscortisone injectionssurgery (rarely).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
