‘There are more than 6 different diagnoses that, unless you are seen by a specialist, can be confused with the symptoms of plantar fasciitis. It is important to have a thorough assessment as treatments for these conditions are very different.’
If these other conditions are left undiagnosed and untreated, the pain and problems you are experiencing will continue indefinitely – and will likely become worse over time.
Pain that is somewhere other than/as well as in the bottom of your heel may not be plantar fasciitis
Some of these conditions are more serious and require further investigation or testing
Pain in feet that is not addressed without doubt leads to further problems such as knee, hip and back pain
You are experiencing numbness, tingling, burning or shootings pains
The pain is mainly a dull ache, and/or seems to move around the foot to different locations
The pain wakes you up in the night or prevents you from sleeping – i.e. it’s not limited to when you are stood up/walking.
