Got a Pain in the Foot? It Could Be Plantar Fasciitis
“Oh, my aching foot!” There are lots of causes that will give you a pain in the foot but one in particular is a problem known as plantar fasciltis, an inflammation of the tissue, known as the plantar fascia, found on the rim of the underside of the foot, connecting the heel bone to the toes.

The causes can be attributed to standing for long periods, being overweight, shoes that give little support, or even pregnancy.
