Patient's question:
Currently 37 years old, female. I have one son who is ten years old. I experienced heel pain for the first time after giving birth, but it subsided after three months. At that time, I took some medication, but it wasn't very effective. Later, I became pregnant unexpectedly, and the pain started a few days after the surgery. It wasn't severe pain but rather a dull ache, especially when walking more, which became excruciatingly painful. The pain started to subside about one and a half months after the surgery. The heel pain only occurred after the miscarriage and not at other times. I have donated blood once, and the pain lasted for 2-4 days after the donation, then it started again on the fifth day. Now I have had a miscarriage, and it has been close to twenty days, but my heel still aches intermittently, sometimes quite painfully. The pain started on the third day after the surgery, and now I am resting at home, occasionally going out. Currently, I am wearing socks at home.Doctor's answer:
Various causes of heel pain, the discomfort of various aches, numbness, swelling, and pain caused by heel bone spurs, as well as soreness or needle-like pain in the sole of the foot, leading to difficulty in walking. Corticosteroid injections can be used for treatment, and hormone drugs can be taken orally. If necessary, surgical treatment may be required. Generally, doctors recommend that women with postpartum consultation risks should maintain a balanced diet and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods. Additionally, patients should also pay attention to a comfortable environment, which is beneficial for rest. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
