What causes heel pain?

There are many causes of heel pain, the common ones are metatarsal tendonitis, trauma, arthritis and infection. 1. metatarsal tendonitis: chronic aseptic inflammation of the metatarsal tendon membrane at the stopping point due to chronic strain injury, etc., which can lead to heel pain. 2. Traumatic injury: The pain can be caused by violence during walking or sports, causing injury to the tissues around the heel, such as ligaments, tendons, joint capsule, etc., or injury to the heel bone caused by a fall from a high place. 3. Arthritis: For example, in gouty arthritis, high blood uric acid levels cause uric acid crystals to be deposited in the joints. The deposited crystals lead to inflammation in and around the joints, thus causing heel pain. Heel pain may also have other causes such as infection, bone spurs, etc. It is recommended to go to the hospital in time, improve the examination to clarify the cause of the disease, and standardize the treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
