Guest guest Posted June 12, 2003 Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 Plantar fasciitis is a condition that is typically worse in the morning with the first few steps that you take, or after sitting, standing or walking. It usually starts with a dull intermittent pain in the heel which often progresses to a sharp persistent pain. The cause of the pain may originate from where the plantar fascia attaches to the heel bone, or anywhere along the thick fibrous tissue that extends from the heel to the toes. The problem begins to occur when repeated stress is applied to the tissue as in running. The tension results in an inflamed condition of the plantar fascia with subsequent pain and discomfort.
