Causes of Heel pain

The plantar fascia is a tissue band that connects heel bone to the toes at the bottom of the feet. Repeated stress and strain on this fascia can lead to its inflammation.

रस टॉक्स – एड़ी के दर्द के लिए सबसे अच्छा उपाय
Rhus Tox एड़ी के दर्द के लिए एक प्रमुख होम्योपैथिक दवा है। यह तब संकेतित होती है जब चलने पर एड़ी में दर्द हर कदम के साथ बढ़ता है, लेकिन जैसे-जैसे व्यक्ति चलना जारी रखता है, धीरे-धीरे कम होता जाता है। यह तब और भी बदतर होता है जब व्यक्ति सोने के बाद सुबह अपने पैरों पर खड़ा होता है। एड़ी में चुभने जैसा दर्द सबसे ज़्यादा होता है। दर्द ऐसा महसूस होता है जैसे कोई पिन या लोहे की कील पर पैर रख रहा हो। जब एड़ी पर ज़्यादा दबाव पड़ता है और एड़ी में दर्द होता है, तो Rhus Tox अच्छा काम करता है। ज़्यादा खिंचे हुए, ज़्यादा तनावग्रस्त अकिलीज़ टेंडन या प्लांटर फ़ेशिया की वजह से सूजन और एड़ी में दर्द होता है, इसका भी Rhus Tox से प्रभावी ढंग से इलाज किया जा सकता है। गठिया (जोड़ों की सूजन) से उत्पन्न एड़ी के दर्द के मामले में, यह एक बढ़िया उपाय है।
सुबह उठते ही पैर जमीन पर रखने और खड़े होने के एक से दो मिनिट तक बहुत दर्द होता है, पैर समेट कर बैठने के थोड़ी देर बाद खड़े होने पर भी इसी तरह महसूस होता है कृपया बताए कि कौनसी दवाई और कैसे लेनी है तथा परहेज क्या करे
