足跟疼痛可能真的很麻烦。它甚至会使最简单的任务，比如早上起床或走到商店，都变成一种痛苦的折磨。但别担心，你并不孤单。许多人在他们的一生中都会经历足跟疼痛。
Two of the most common causes of heel pain are Achilles Tendonitis and Plantar Fasciitis. While they might sound similar, they’re different conditions with different treatments. In this article, we’ll explore their differences and offer tips for managing heel pain.
了解足跟疼痛
Heel pain is a general term used to describe any discomfort in the heel area. It can range from a dull ache to a sharp, stabbing pain. While Achilles tendonitis and plantar fasciitis are common culprits, there are other possible causes, such as heel spurs or stress fractures.
跟腱炎
Achilles tendonitis is an inflammation of the Achilles tendon, the thick band of tissue that connects your calf muscle to your heel bone. It’s often caused by overuse, such as running or jumping.
跟腱炎的症状包括：
- 脚后跟后部疼痛，尤其是在开始活动时
- 早晨感到僵硬
- 跟腱周围肿胀
足底筋膜炎
Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot, connecting your heel to your toes. It’s often caused by overuse or repetitive strain.
足底筋膜炎的症状包括：
- 脚后跟剧烈疼痛，尤其是在早上迈出第一步时
- 当您四处走动时，疼痛会减轻
- 足部僵硬
跟腱炎和足底筋膜炎的区别
区分跟腱炎和足底筋膜炎可能很棘手，因为疼痛通常在相似的区域。但是，有一些关键的区别：
疼痛位置
跟腱炎通常位于脚后跟后部，而足底筋膜炎通常位于底部。
疼痛最严重的时候
Achilles tendonitis pain is often worse after strenuous activity, while plantar fasciitis pain is often worse in the morning.
何时因脚跟疼痛就医
虽然许多脚跟疼痛的病例可以在家治疗，但在以下情况下，看足科医生或医生非常重要：
- 您的疼痛严重或家庭治疗后没有改善
- 您的脚跟周围有肿胀、发红或发热
- 您行走困难或脚跟无法承受重量
足科医生或医生可以诊断出您脚跟疼痛的确切原因，并推荐最合适的治疗方法。
