I soak it in epsom salt and take over the counter medications. nothing works . :  <response>: Thank you for sharing your complaint,-dear friend some exercise like you should regularly stretch your feet and calves and analgesic medicines like ibuprofen or if severe pain combination of diclofenacparacetamolserratiopeptidase will relieve the heel pain. Sometime steroid like prednisolone also used to relieve inflammation, it will act better.-dont give load on heel. Whenever possible, rest the affected foot by not walking long distances and standing for long periods.-soak your foots in just simple warm water for 10-15 minutes at morning and evening. Hope this answer will be helpful to you. For more queries please dont hesitate to ask. Get well soon dear friend
