कधी कधी अचानक जास्त चालल्याने किंवा उभे राहिल्याने या उतीमध्ये सूज येते. चालताना, उभे राहताना त्रास होतो. सूज कमी झाली की वेदना कमी होतात. पण, जर  सतत उभे राहिल्याने  हा त्रास वारंवार उद्भवत असेल तर डॉक्टरांना दाखवणे गरजेचे असते.

टाचदुखीची कारणे आणि उपचार (Heel Pain Causes and Treatment in Marathi):-

1. खूप जास्त काळापर्यंत उंच टाचेच्या चपला किंवा बुट घातल्याने अनेक स्त्रियांना टाचदुखीचा ( Heel Pain) त्रास होतो. यामुळे टाचेची झीज होणे, पोटरीच्या स्नायूंवर ताण पडणे आणि प्लांटर फॅसिया  खूप जास्त ताणला जातो. याचा  एकत्रित परिणाम म्हणजे टाच दुखायला लागते. म्हणून उंच टाचेचे चपला आणि बूट नियमित आणि जास्त वेळेपर्यंत वापरणे टाळावे.
2. सतत उभे राहिल्याने टाचेखालचं फॅट पॅड झिजून त्या ठिकाणी हील spurs तयार होतात. त्यासाठी cushions/heel support दिला जातो. याचा परिणाम म्हणजे टाचदुखी ( Heel Pain) कमी होते.
3. खेळाडू किंवा एथलेट्स या लोकांना देखील टाचदुखीचा त्रास उद्भवू शकतो.  कारण पळताना त्यांच्या तळव्यावर ताण येतो. वयाच्या चाळीस ते साठीच्या दरम्यान  हा त्रास होऊ शकतो. गरज लागल्यास आजाराचे निदान करण्यासाठी डॉक्टर  एक्सरे किंवा एमआरआय करण्याचा सल्ला देतात.
4. पोटरीचे स्नायू खूप कडक असल्यामुळे किंवा चुकीच्या पद्धतीने व्यायाम केल्याने सुद्धा त्रास उद्भवतो अश्या वेळी muscle stretching चे व्यायाम डॉक्टरांच्या सल्ल्याने करावेत.त्यानेही आराम मिळतो.
5. ज्यांचे तळवे सपाट असतात आणि तळव्याचा आर्च (कमान) कमी असतो, अश्या लोकांना टाचदुखीचा त्रास त्रास होऊ शकतो.  यासाठी चपला-बुटांमध्ये आतून आधार लावावा लागतो.
6. लठ्ठ असणाऱ्या व्यक्तींना हा त्रास जाणवतो.बहुतांश वेळा वैद्यकीय उपचार आणि योग्य व्यायाम केल्याने हा आजार आटोक्यात येऊ शकतो. वेदना किंवा सूज असते तेंव्हा आराम करणे, वेदनेच्या ठिकाणी बर्फ लावणे असे उपाय केल्याने तात्पुरत्या काळासाठी ही वेदना कमी होते. परंतु हा त्रास जास्त काळ होत असल्यास डॉक्टरांना जरूर भेटावे.

Causes:-

The most common cause of heel pain after waking up in the morning is plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis is a condition where the connective tissue that runs from your heel to your toes becomes inflamed.

This causes pain on the bottom of the foot, which usually worsens when you get out of bed in the morning, after resting for a long time, and when you first start walking. The pain usually gets worse with exercise and gets better with rest.

Treatment:-

Heel pain after waking up in the morning can be treated. To begin with, there are some things that one can try at home. These include:

• Investing in a pair of good shoes that have adequate support and cushioning
• Wearing shoes with good arch support
• Taking acetaminophen or ibuprofen to help relieve pain
• Applying ice to the affected area
• Stretch before rising out of bed every morning and after sitting for long amounts of time on a chair.

If these things don’t work, it may be necessary to explore additional options, such as visiting a doctor or physical therapist. The podiatrist may examine the foot and recommend stretching exercises or physical therapy. They may also prescribe night splints and orthotics. If all else fails, surgery may be recommended.

If you think you may have one of these conditions, you should consult with a doctor or a podiatrist. Do not try to self-diagnose and treat heel pain on your own if you are concerned about a medical condition. Reach out to Dr. Chetan Oswal – Orthowin Clinic, Pune for further consultation.

Symptoms of Calcaneus (Broken Heel Bone) Fracture

The heel that is fractured becomes tender. The ankle and foot get swollen and bruised. People who have calcaneus or heel bone fractures cannot put weight on their feet.

You can develop compartment syndrome. It usually develops when the swelling pressurizes the blood vessels nearby that block and reduce blood flow. The tissues that are blood-derived may die or get damaged. Immediate treatment is important.

Diagnosis of Calcaneus (Broken Heel Bone) Fracture

• Computed tomography (CT scan)
• X-rays

If doctors think that your heel bone is fractured, they will first take some x-rays that will show if there is a fracture. At times, they may require a computed tomography or CT. It includes x-rays with the help of computer technology to produce a three-dimensional or detailed image of the area that is injured. As heel fractures occur due to great force, doctors can check for some injuries like spine or knee fractures.

Treatment of Calcaneus (Broken Heel Bone) Fracture

The treatment of calcaneus (broken heel bone) fracture can be done with surgery or a cast. If the calcaneus fracture is in position, we recommend non-invasive treatment.

Conclusion

In case you need any treatment for calcaneus- broken heel bone fracture, you can contact Dr. Chetan Oswal at Orthowin Foot and Ankle Clinic in Pune.
