🦶 Why Does Your Heel Hurt After Getting Out of Bed?

Do you feel sharp heel pain with your first few steps in the morning? If the pain improves after walking for a while but returns after sitting or resting, plantar fasciitis is one possible cause.

🔎 Common causes of morning heel pain include:
✅ Plantar fasciitis
✅ Tight calf muscles
✅ Achilles tendon problems
✅ Sudden increase in walking or exercise
✅ Unsupportive footwear
✅ Heel pad problems
✅ Nerve-related pain

💡 What can help?
• Gentle calf and foot stretching
• Supportive, comfortable footwear
• Gradually increase physical activity
• Strengthen the foot, ankle and calf muscles
• Avoid repeatedly walking through significant pain

⚠️ Don't ignore persistent heel pain. Consult an orthopedic specialist if the pain continues for several weeks, gets worse, affects your walking, occurs at rest, or is associated with swelling, numbness or tingling.
