According to the different injury site and tissue structure, heel pain is generally divided into three types: calcaneal periostitis, subcheel bursitis and fat pad inflammation. What these three kinds of injuries have in common is obvious tenderness. The pain of calcaneal periostitis is the most obvious when the forefoot touches the ground, while the heel bursitis and fat pad inflammation are not painful when the forefoot touches the ground, and only when the foot touches the ground will there be obvious pain. The difference between inferior bursitis and fatty pad inflammation is that the former can feel the cystic tumor moving under the calcaneus with limited pain range; The latter has a large range of pain and is fixed.
Because of the severe heel pain and long course of disease, it is more important to prevent and treat this disease as soon as possible. Preventive measures are: pay attention to landing with the forefoot first, not with the heel first, and try to avoid the heel being pressed by hard objects. Soaking feet with hot water can promote blood circulation of feet and prevent heel pain.
Other treatments include:
(1) Boil water with eggplant root for a few minutes, let it cool, take a hot bath to wash feet and heels, and rub the affected area repeatedly with both hands.
(2) After the bricks on the stove are baked, sprinkle with vinegar, and then step on the bricks 15 ~ 20 minutes at a time. This is a common folk prescription for heel pain.
(3) Use the same amount of Ligusticum Chuanxiong and Radix Angelicae Dahuricae, grind them into fine powder, and sprinkle them in shoes once a day, which has the function of dredging and relieving pain.
If there is still no improvement with the above methods, and there is an aggravating trend, you should seek medical advice in time.
