Is Heel Pain Always a Sign of Gout?

Heel pain may be caused by gout, but it may also be due to other reasons. It is recommended that patients seek medical attention promptly and undergo targeted treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

If the uric acid level in the body is too high, it will lead to the deposition of uric acid crystals around the joints and stimulate local tissues, causing pain symptoms. In this case, drugs such as Febuxostat Tablets and Benzbromarone Tablets can be used under the guidance of a doctor to lower uric acid levels and improve symptoms.

1. Injury: If you have recently suffered from impact or collision, it may lead to soft tissue damage, causing symptoms such as swelling and pain. Generally, no special treatment is required, and it will recover spontaneously after a period of time.

2. Bone hyperplasia: As age increases, various organs of the body will gradually age, and the bones will also degenerate, easily forming bone spurs that compress surrounding nerves, causing the above-mentioned symptoms. Drugs such as Diclofenac Sodium Sustained-Release Tablets and Celecoxib Capsules can be prescribed to relieve pain.

3. Plantar fasciitis: When walking or running for a long time, the plantar fascia is repeatedly stretched, resulting in a sterile inflammatory reaction, mainly manifested as heel pain and discomfort, with increased pain when pressed. Drugs such as Etoricoxib Tablets and Eperisone Hydrochloride Tablets can be prescribed to relax muscles and reduce pain.

In addition, it may also be related to rheumatoid arthritis. In daily life, it is necessary to pay attention to warmth measures, avoid catching a cold, rest sufficiently, ensure adequate sleep time, and avoid staying up late. The diet should be mainly light and digestible foods, avoiding spicy and greasy foods.
