Question: What is causing my heel to hurt?
Answer: While a diagnosis would have to come after a doctor’s examination, it could be plantar fasciitis, which is a foot condition that most commonly occurs in people between 40 and 60 years of age. Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the band of tissue (the plantar fascia) that extends from the heel to the toes. It supports the arch of your foot and helps you walk.
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common foot complaints. Too much pressure on your feet can damage or tear the ligaments. The plantar fascia becomes inflamed, and the inflammation causes heel pain and stiffness.
