• Pain with the first few steps after rest (typically the morning)
• Pain with increased physical exercise
• Pain with prolonged standing

Plantar Fasciitis is usually noticeable on the first few steps after rest or being seated.  The pain is frequently described as “like walking on broken glass” – especially in the morning.

Left untreated, plantar fasciitis has been associated with heel spurs, a calcified growth in the heel which is excruciatingly painful to walk on.

In early plantar fasciitis there is no obvious visual symptoms.  However after the irritation in the tendon moves from the reactive tendinopathy stage into the tendon disrepair stage, swelling starts to become a feature of the damaged tendon.  Swelling typically occurs near the heel and the inside of the foot at the arch.

This varies on your body weight and age.  Left untreated, plantar fasciitis has been associated with the development of heel spurs, a calcified growth in the heel which is excruciatingly painful to walk on and VERY hard to treat.  Early plantar fasciitis treatment is essential to stop chronic pathology developing.

Ice doesn’t help the tendon to heal in any way at all.  However, it may temporarily reduce pain, which is especially useful after exercise.

This is a complex question.  The shortest answer is that one foot suffers more load than the other – this may be because of a slight leg length difference or something unique about you that makes you hit the ground harder with one foot than the other.

Plantar fasciitis is tendon overload injury.  Allowing a tendon to repair involves:

• Performing specific exercises to encourage collagen repair in the tendon
• Avoiding the activity that has caused the tendon irritation
• Reducing muscle tension that is causing the tendon to be tight and overloaded.
• Modifying your footwear and deloading the heel with a heel support may also reduce pain and allow your tendon to heal.

Not as a symptom of the plantar fasciitis.  If you experience ankle pain after developing plantar fasciitis – it may be because of a change in your walking pattern to avoid pain, or a change in footwear.

Not as a symptom of the plantar fasciitis.  If you experience ankle pain after developing plantar fasciitis – it may be because of a change in your walking pattern to avoid pain, or a change in footwear.

Ankle swelling is not a symptom of plantar fasciitis.

Ankle swelling has many causes including blood pressure.  One of the most common causes of ankle swelling is high blood pressure and not walking.  When we walk the body moves fluid from the extremities back up to the middle of the body for excretion.  If your plantar fasciitis is severe, it may limit your ability to walk and reduce fluid return.

Not as a specific symptom of plantar fasciitis.  Painful plantar fasciitis causes us to move in a way that avoids pain, which can aggravate other structures involved in movement.

Chronic plantar fasciitis is more likely in long distance runners and high body mass individuals.  Early treatment of plantar fasciitis and modifying the factors that cause plantar fasciitis such as footwear, muscle tension, tendon health (specific exercises) and body weight greatly reduce the chances of symptoms  returning.

This is a complex question and depends on how long you are on your feet, if you are a high body mass individual, if you are in menopause, and if your footwear is appropriate to deload the overloaded tendon.  If you are not overweight or a runner – plantar fasciopathy should statistically resolve within 2 years.  However leaving plantar fasciitis untreated increases the risk of developing bone spurs in the heel – which is much harder to treat than plantar fasciitis.

Symptoms should drastically reduce with weight loss without any other intervention.
