I posted a thread this morning regarding a fairly inactive 47 year male slightly overweight who complains of shooting pain on medial side of left foot heel pad for few minutes after rest, no pain when walking. He fractured both ankles on different occasions many years ago. Heel pain started about 2 years ago.

When I returned to this thread later I realised I was getting a good old ridiculing that I could not recognise the symptoms of plantarfasciitis. I posted a reply to rectify what I believe to be a misunderstanding about where this pain actually was but the thread was removed by admin. probably before anyone saw it. I am very aware of the symptoms of plantarfasciitis and when the gentleman was giving me his history it was my obvious thought but then he pointed very specifically to a spot on the medial heel pad, not plantar medial heel pad ie about 2.5cm in from the back of the heel and about 2cm up from the bottom of the heel pad on medial side, posterior to deltoid for want of a better discription.) This may well be a symptom of plantarfasciitis but I have to hold up my hands and admit I have never had anyone with plantarfasciitis discribe pain it in this area before. Due to short time slot I had used low dye strapping and given him plantarfascia and gastro stretches (lunge of 28 degrees) to do with review in 2-3weeks. I really would appreciate your advise but please don't stone me again!
