plantar fasciitis
Painful arch condition
Plantar fasciitis is inflammation of the thick band of tissue running along the bottom of the foot, connecting the heel bone to the toes.
It causes stabbing pain near the heel, typically worst with the first steps after waking.
The condition is common among runners, people who stand for long hours, and those who are overweight.
