Seeking advice on heel pain treatment - #52250

Namaste Mohammed Rashid, Your symptoms — heel pain after a sports injury with recurrence after stopping painkillers — indicate ligament/tendon strain with vata involvement, commonly seen in conditions like plantar fasciitis. The focus should be on reducing inflammation, healing the affected tissue, and preventing strain. Your current medicines are appropriate for this condition, especially for reducing inflammation and supporting joint and nerve health. Since you are already noticing improvement, it is a positive sign and the treatment can be continued with monitoring. Avoid prolonged standing and excessive strain on the heel. Use soft, cushioned footwear and avoid walking barefoot on hard surfaces. Gentle stretching of the foot and calf muscles can help. Applying mild heat after oil massage can reduce stiffness. Include warm, freshly cooked food with a little ghee and avoid excessive dry or cold foods. Ayurvedic medicines with dose and timing (if needed for additional support): Yogaraja Guggulu – 1 tablet, twice daily after food Dashmoolarishta – 15 ml with equal water, twice daily after food External application: Apply Mahanarayana Taila or Sahacharadi Taila over the heel, followed by gentle massage and mild fomentation (heat) These are traditionally used to reduce pain, improve circulation, and support healing of soft tissues when combined with proper care. Since you are already improving, continue the current treatment, and additional medicines can be considered only if progress plateaus. With consistent care, further improvement can be expected over the next few weeks. Consult me for more advice and suggestions on the above medicines.
