Heel pain in New Delhi: When to see an Orthopaedic Surgeon?

Heel Pain: When to Seek Assessment

Heel pain can have various causes. Seek medical advice from a general physician if the pain is severe or stops you from daily activities; if it worsens or keeps returning; if it has not improved after two weeks; if you experience tingling or loss of sensation in your foot; or if you have diabetes and heel pain, as foot problems can be more serious.

Urgent assessment is needed if: you have severe heel pain after an injury; feel faint, dizzy, or sick from the pain; your ankle or foot has changed shape or is at an odd angle; you heard a snap, grinding, or popping noise at the time of injury; you are unable to walk, walk on tiptoes, or walk up stairs; or if you have swelling and bruising in your calf and ankle. These could indicate a broken heel bone or ankle.
