Does anyone have any ideas for mitigating pain associated with plantar fibro-fatty pad dysfunction causing plantar heel pain? I am trying to help a 45 YO lady with longstanding plantar heel pain, denied recollection of a traumatic event, diagnostic ultrasound exam normal for chronic plantar fasciosis but suggestive for overly compliant plantar fibro-fatty pad (visibly thin and overly compliant with probe pressure), normal radiographic exam. She has tolerance for pain of approximately1 hour weight-bearing wearing running shoes, this is increased to 2 hrs using foot orthoses with 10mm neoprene compliant heel ramp.
My thoughts are; foot-wear with proven damping heel characteristics, possibly use of MBT which might reduce peak pressures at heel contact or other foot-wear modification which increases 1st rocker duration?
Ideas/experiences or citations welcomed
Cheers
