3. Pain Directly in the Heel
Plantar fasciitis affects the Achilles tendon, the ankle and the rest of the muscles in the foot just as much as it affects the heel, and people who have been diagnosed with plantar fasciitis are known for very often experiencing pain through the entire area – and sometimes with the condition left untreated, this pain can also spread to many other areas of the body related to the way you walk, such as the hips and the neck.
Pain directly in the heel is one of the most common symptoms of plantar fasciitis, and most people with the condition will experience this symptom in varying degrees of severity. If you experience heel pain for several hours or days at a time – especially if it happens frequently.
Make a doctor’s appointment and reduce pressure in the foot if you experience this symptom; further pressure on the foot can only risk increased damage.
