Painful foot

[Skybubble]

Has anyone had pain on the bottom of the foot close to the heel on the inner side? I have had this for weeks now and I'm in agony first thing in the mornings, so much so that I can't put my foot down to walk, I have tried most pain killers including oramorph which is prescribed to me for a separate issue I have, none of them are helping, the only one that helps is nurofen which I am not supposed to be taking due to a stomach ulcer over 20 years ago. I have a dr appointment booked for 3weeks time which will be a telephone consultation, I can't get one before then so I'm just wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to what it could be and any suggestions on easing the pain. I have nothing hurt it or bruised it and have no lumps or bumps.

Not hurt it*

Plantar fasciitis maybe? Ruddy painful can last for ages... Cures can be variable. Stretching exercises for feet and insoles can help

Sounds like plantar fasciitis - perhaps try and find a sports physio or sports massage therapist. You need to stretch it and perhaps roll your foot on a golf ball, spikey ball, cold can to get some relief. If you’re lucky it might respond to wearing shoes with a small heel rather than going barefoot as this stretches the fascia less.

Thanks forest and fluff, I have googled pf and yes that sounds exactly what I have, I just hope it goes away soon.
