This is an inflammation of the planta fascia, which is a strong ligament running from the calcaneum (heel bone) to the tip of the foot. When the foot is heavily pounded or stressed, a sharp pain develops, even with no injury.<\/p>\n<p>The major cause of this inconveniencing pain is wearing a flat shoe for a long period, and doing vigorous work with it. Most of these shoes have no shock absorbers hence the foot receives any bangs and hits directly. The feeling is usually behind thee heel, or right below it, and it often occurs after the foot has been put on rest.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14191\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14191\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/07\/Self-Massage-Ball.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14191\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/07\/Self-Massage-Ball.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/07\/Self-Massage-Ball.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/07\/Self-Massage-Ball-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/07\/Self-Massage-Ball-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ghafla.co.ke\/ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2018\/07\/Self-Massage-Ball-690x460.jpg 690w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14191\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A soft self massage with a ball can ease the pain<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This is a sign that your leg needs some pampering.
