Patient's question:
Is bursitis possible in this area? Two years ago, it was the same spot. The painful area was the round bone on the left foot where it pushes off the ground. On the first day, it was a bit painful, and I limped home from work. By the third day, it was very painful, with a slight swelling, but no redness. By the fourth day, it was already starting to improve. During that time, standing, sitting, or putting the foot down caused pain, but lying flat didn't hurt. Napping was also fine. Now, after more than ten days, the swelling has gone down, and I can walk and run again. However, sitting in that position for too long sometimes causes a bit of swelling and pain, which improves after walking a few steps or moving around. Now, pressing hard on that bone or exerting force on it causes a little pain. After playing sports, the bone feels particularly sore. Several doctors said it was tendinitis, but I can definitely say it's the bone that hurts, not the tendons or muscles.Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the medical records and clinical diagnoses you have described. From the description of the condition and what you have narrated, it is indeed a case of plantar fasciitis pain. Plantar fasciitis pain refers to the pain caused by recurrent aseptic inflammation at the point where the tendon connects to the bone you mentioned. It is the connection point between the bone and the tendon, but the inflammation is not in the bone; it is primarily in the tendon, which is also known as the ligament.
