That sharp, stabbing pain in your heel, especially when you take your first steps in the morning, might be more than just tired feet. It could be Plantar Fasciitis, a common condition caused by inflammation in the plantar fascia, the thick band of tissue that supports the arch of your foot. People often notice the pain most after waking up, sitting for long periods, or following physical activity. Common causes include standing for long hours, wearing unsupportive footwear, having flat feet or high arches, or sudden changes in weight or exercise levels. Simple remedies like gentle stretching, proper footwear, rest, and icing can go a long way in relieving discomfort and helping you heal. However, if the pain persists for more than a few weeks, affects your daily routine, or worsens over time, see a doctor or a podiatrist. Early treatment can prevent long-term issues and get you back on your feet, pain-free!
