Problem: Article: If you have not yet gotten a diagnosis, it is important to see a doctor before attempting any home treatments. Other conditions may have similar symptoms to heel spurs. Your doctor will likely need to do a physical exam and x-ray or CT scan to confirm the diagnosis and recommend treatment. Ask your doctor about any home treatments you are considering during your appointment. Night splints are braces that attach to your injured foot, ankle, and lower leg simultaneously. The splint stretches your plantar fascia ligament while you're sleeping, which helps to ease the pain. These splints are usually called "Plantar fasciitis night splints" or "heel splints." You can buy them online, at sporting goods stores, and from medical equipment facilities. Some splints will come in small, medium, and large sizes. Other brands will fit a range of shoe sizes. You may find the night splint to be uncomfortable at first, but they can be very effective. The night splint assists in holding the plantar fascia and the Achilles tendon in an elongated position during sleeping to expand the fascial sheath. Night splints help in stretching your calf muscle and supporting the arch of your foot. Night splints need to be used each night regularly and failure to wear these nightly limit their effectiveness. Get into a seated position on the floor with your legs straight in front of you. Cross your injured foot over the knee of your other leg. Grasp the toes of your straight leg and gently pull them toward you. If you can't reach your toes, then wrap a towel around them and pull on the towel. Hold the stretch for 10 seconds and repeat 20 times. You can switch legs and stretch your non-injured foot if you want to! Perform this exercise in the morning before you've done any standing or walking. Place your hands on a wall. Extend your injured foot behind you, keeping your leg straight. Place the non-injured foot in front of you with the knee bent. Push your hips toward the wall and hold the stretch for 10 seconds. You should feel a pull in your calf muscles. Repeat the stretch 20 times. Feel free to repeat this stretch for your non-injured foot, too. Go to a hardware shop and purchase a dowel with a length of 150mm and a diameter of 20mm. Stand supported against a bench with the painful area pressed heavily down on the road. Roll it backward and forward on the area for 1 to 2 minutes. The pain might feel severe at first, but it lessens as you continue. Repeat this several times a day. You should experience no pain after several days, but you may feel some soreness at first.
Summary: See your doctor for a diagnosis before assuming what the problem is. Wear night splints to improve your condition while you sleep. Do plantar fascia stretches to loosen the ligament. Do calf stretches to strengthen and lengthen your plantar fascia. Try the doweling technique on your injured foot.

Problem: Article: Your doctor will examine your skin for wheals and flare to determine which substances you are allergic to. They will have the training necessary to determine when your skin is irritated and when you are having an allergic reaction due to the substance. If you have very large wheals due to an allergen, you may have a high level of sensitivity to a substance or food. Your doctor will let you know which substances you tested positive for in terms of an allergy. It is possible for an allergy test to be inaccurate the first time around, causing a false positive or a false negative. If you want to be sure you are allergic to certain substances, you may ask your doctor to administer another round of skin tests. Usually if you test positive for an allergy to a substance more than once, it means you are allergic to it. Once you determine what substances you are allergic to, you should do your best to avoid interacting with them. This may mean cutting certain foods out of your diet or switching your skin care products so you do not expose your skin to allergens. Your doctor should tell you how severe your allergies are to certain substances so you do not put your health at risk. For example, if you have a mild allergy to cats, your doctor may recommend you stay away from cats and take allergy medication before you interact with cats. Or if you have a severe allergy to peanuts, your doctor may suggest you avoid eating peanuts and confirm foods do not have peanuts before you eat them. For some allergens, you may have a very minor reaction, such as a rash or skin irritation. But if you continue to expose yourself to the allergen, your reactions may get worse over time. Try to avoid being around any allergens so you stay healthy.
Summary:
Allow your doctor to interpret the results of the test. Get a second test done if you want to be sure of your allergies. Adjust your diet or lifestyle to avoid contact with allergens.
