Why does my heel pain jump from foot to foot?

 

A: When one foot is injured with heel pain, the discomfort can be intense. Your body will naturally try to offload the painful heel and shift more weight to the foot that is healthy. As the pressure is shifted, inflammation can begin on the other limb because of overuse. You may even see a reduction of pain on the originally painful limb!

If left untreated, the pain will continue to jump from foot to foot until, ultimately, both feet will be simultaneously painful, which can be debilitating. For that reason, do not let your heel pain go untreated. In most cases, plantar fasciitis does not resolve in its own. Your podiatrist in Houston is able to assess your pain and offer treatment options to resolve it before it becomes a greater problem.
