Patient's question:
Patient is male, over 8 years old, and has never had foot pain before.Current condition:
1. One week ago, the child said their heel hurts, but when they pressed their heel with their hand, they said it doesn’t hurt.
2. It’s particularly painful when walking or lifting their foot, causing them to limp.
Doctor's answer:
The condition you described may be caused by plantar fasciitis. Some anti-inflammatory, analgesic, blood-activating, meridian-opening, bone-penetrating, and wind-dispelling traditional Chinese medicines can be used for treatment. The Guqin-Huoluo patch from traditional Chinese medicine is applied to the surface of the heel to stimulate nerve endings, dilate blood vessels, promote local blood circulation, improve the nutrition of surrounding tissues, and achieve the purposes of reducing swelling, anti-inflammation, and analgesia.
