My 7 yo dd was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis a few months ago. For her the pain is in her arch, not her heel.
Last night at the end of practice (3 hour practice, she was ending on vault) she said that her heel was really, really hurting. It isn't really the bottom of the heel, rather the back of her leg/ankle/heel. A few inches up the back of the heel. Does that make sense?
Last night she said it was painful enough at times to make her want to cry. She quit running around; but it walking on it OK. This morning she got out of bed and immediately started complaining about it.
I told her to start back wearing her x-brace. She is also wearing her sneakers. I gave her an ibuprofin and wrote a note for her to sit out of PE and recess today and tomorrow.
As I said, she is walking on it; but not running. She says that walking hurts some; but running or jumping hurts a lot.
Does this sound like it is just another symptom of her plantar fasciitis? Or something new? I figure that if it continues to be a problem for another day I'll take her to the orthopedist; but I'm wondering if I should be more worried about it...
