Ben Wang, March 19 hearing, recently, a middle-aged woman due to heel pain, can not walk, daily life has been affected, with the Beijing Friendship Hospital foot and ankle surgery outpatient clinic. The diagnosis was confirmed as: Heel pain.
Heel pain refers to a variety of heel pain syndrome, mainly refers to the heel bottom pain, currently considered to have blister inflammation, fat pad strain, nerve compression can cause heel pain, including the calcaneal tubercle around The chronic inflammation caused by chronic strains mainly consists of pain and difficulty in walking, mainly decidua or Achilles tendon attachment. According to Professor Lu Ying, a senior member of the National Foot and Surgical Specialized Research Group and an expert in orthopaedic and foot surgery at the Beijing Friendship Hospital, the calcaneus is the main part of the human body. When the human body stands, more than 50% of the body weight is caused by the calcaneus and the talus. Bear. The aponeurosis is attached to the calcaneus. When the person stands or walks, the aponeurosis is strongly pulled to maintain the normal structure of the arch. In the elderly (especially 40-60 years old) with age, due to the posterior medial calcification of the calcaneus (commonly known as "spurs"), atrophy of the calcaneal fat pad, the elasticity of the decidua is weakened. The chronic inflammation caused by repeatedly pulling the injury from the origin of the calcaneus, coupled with osteoporosis, reduces the bone density. When standing and walking for a long time, it is easy to induce the disease. The main clinical manifestations of heel pain are: pain at the bottom of the heel; pain is mostly dull and persistent; and pain increases when the heel strikes. The attachment to the Achilles tendon can also be swollen and tender.
Hearing pain brings pain to people and affects people’s quality of life. Prevention of heel pain can take the following measures:
1, a reasonable arrangement of their daily life, pay attention to rest, not too tired, to do work and rest.
2, to develop a good foot hygiene habits. Wash feet daily with warm water to keep them clean and have good blood circulation, reduce local inflammation, and contribute to the health of the foot.
3, cold and warm. In winter, special attention should be paid to keep your feet warm and avoid cold irritations.
4, scientific choice of shoes. There are particular about wearing shoes. The size of the shoes should be appropriate, the texture should be soft and relaxed, and all the toes should be laid flat and slightly movable. Sole should have a certain thickness, outside the hard and soft, especially the heel should be flexible, the best shoes with a thin insole, so that they can evenly distribute their own weight, too soft thin soles are also easy to damage the foot.
5, long-distance walking or standing for a long time, we must have a scientific gait and posture, we must learn to walk, we must pay attention to intermittent rest, to avoid continuous weight-bearing feet, to prevent excessive fatigue of the foot.
6, choose the appropriate physical exercise program. Reduced exercise reduces blood circulation in the bones, making the bone's calcium easily absorbed and removed, resulting in loss of bone mass and osteoporosis. Therefore, according to their own actual conditions, choose their own sports, such as: walking, swimming, Tai Chi, etc., perseverance, you can promote the body's metabolism, increase bone toughness, bone growth, help prevent heel pain The occurrence of the disease. For patients with inconvenient mobility, daily contraction exercises for the muscles of the foot can be performed at home to enhance the muscular strength of the plantar muscle and to slow the progression of ligament degeneration.
7. A high-calcium diet can improve osteoporosis in the calcaneus. Can take foods containing calcium from foods, such as: shrimp, kelp, seaweed, crisp fish, seaweed, sesame, etc., animal bone soup is also rich in calcium, eat more vitamin C-rich foods such as fresh vegetables and Fruits can promote the absorption of calcium, which is beneficial to the formation of bone matrix. Milk and soy products are good sources of calcium. Should drink milk, soy milk. Bean curd residue contains a lot of calcium, 100 grams of bean curd residue containing 100 mg of calcium, almost equal to the calcium content of milk, is the most inexpensive, most easily available calcium supplements.
8, to maintain weight in the normal range, do not overweight, in order to reduce the pressure on the foot.
In short, suffering from pain does not have to worry about, can go to the regular hospital foot and ankle surgery or orthopedics for diagnosis and treatment. Professor Lu Ying said that heel pain is a common disease in the ankle clinic. In most cases, conservative treatment can be clinically cured. Heel pain can be treated with anti-inflammatory drugs, physical therapy, and partial closure to relieve pain. Special heel braces can also be used to relieve pain by reducing the tension in the diaphragm. Patients with intractable hematoma with ineffective conservative treatment can also undergo arthroscopic surgery, which can be minimally invasive, safe, effective, and less likely to recur.
