Patient's question:
On September 5th, I gave birth to a girl. Starting from September 10th, I started experiencing pain in my lower back and left foot. Around September 12th, the pain became so severe that I couldn't get out of bed.Doctor's answer:
It may be caused by plantar fasciitis, and local treatments such as massage, heat application, and closed-loop therapy are needed.

Additionally, patients should pay attention to a comfortable environment, which is beneficial for rest. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
