q
& a : Paining Heel :
I
have suffered with pain in my heels for about 3 years. I
went to threapy and have had cortizone shots in the heels
several times. The pain is still there and standing
or walking any distances will flare up the pain to the
point I need a walker. The cause is Plantar Facisis (sp)
what kind of treatment is out there for this kind of pain.
Thank you in advance for answering me.
Answer :
I got your mail. For the control of your pain in heels, I
would suggest you following
1. Fomentation with dry sand bag for 5 to 7 min. in the
morning and if you feel good - you may repeat it in the
evening too.
2. Tab. Maha Yograj guggulu - 2 tab. in the morning and 2
tab. in the evening. This formula you may get in nearby
health food stores or in stores which have Ayurveda
medicines available.
Best wishes, Dr. Prerak Shah
