Seeking Advice on Heel Pain Treatment - #52251
Dear Doctor, My name is Mohammed Rashid, and I am 39 years old. I have been experiencing heel pain for the past five months due to a sports-related injury, possibly caused by running or a sudden movement. Initially, I underwent allopathic treatment, which provided temporary relief while I was taking painkillers; however, the pain returned once the medication was stopped. For the past one and a half months, I have been consulting an Ayurvedic physician and taking the following medications as prescribed: • Burcalvin capsules • Punarnavadi Kashayam tablets • Trayodashanga Guggulu • Valiya Rasnadi Kashayam I take these medicines twice daily, before and after food, as advised. I have noticed gradual improvement, with reduced pain and swelling. I would like to know whether these medications are appropriate for my condition, or if you would recommend any alternative or additional treatment. Kindly advise.
How would you describe the severity of your heel pain?:
- Moderate, affects daily activitiesAre there any specific activities that trigger or worsen your heel pain?:
- Walking for long periodsHave you made any changes to your lifestyle or physical activity since the injury?:
- Yes, reduced activity significantlyDoctors' responses
Your medication appears consistent with pain and swelling in joint diseases including heel pain. If you had been subjected to any ligament or other soft tissue injuries there are medicines for that too. A bandage with murivenna taila and karuth vatt tablet, or gandha taila 10 drops in warm water will be greatly beneficial in such conditions.Discuss the possibility of that with your doctor if the symptoms persist.
