Q. Is there any good source for heel pain relief, besides NSAIDs? My heel pain is most severe at night when I sleep.

I have found that keeping my feet flexed (the position they are in when standing) helps ease the pain of plantar facitis. I also don't let my feet get cold(wear socks)and keep heavy blankets and quilts off the feet. Placing a box under the covers at the foot of the bed will help keep the blankets up. Do try the exercises recommended on the above web sites. It usually resolves in about 6 months. Best wishes! Read more or ask a question about painful heelWant to thank TFD for its existence?
