I am having pain in my heel when I walk and slight swelling in my left leg. I have been taking ibuprophen and taking foot soaks with epsom salts and warm water. I have psoriasis. The symptoms started approximately two weeks ago. Any clue as to what it might be?
Hi, Thanks for your query. From your symptoms, it seems that you are suffering from plantar fasciitis. It happens due to inflammation of the plantar fascia. It hurts the most with the first few steps in the morning because the plantar fascia is tight and has not stretched out yet, and throughout the day it loosens up. The best thing you can do is when you wake up in the morning, before getting out of bed and taking a step, give yourself a little foot rub. There are many things you can try to help your foot get better
