A sigh of relief was heard when I was told that the heel pain is not chronic, i.e. I can still do my runs (albeit in smaller dosages say 1km each time) as long as I can tolerate the pain. The doctor prescribed medicine for 2 weeks, in which after the course of this medication, the inflammed tissues might heel and the pain will go away. The maximum recovery period will however be 6 months.

Slippers, lots of massaging at the painful spot, water massage, swimming, walking in water (haha), stretching (and stretching in water) are here to help...
