I am 3 weeks out of my last chemo being 6 months long. I’ve had before diagnosis and now after chemo, severe heel pain with redness. Curious if this is plantar fasciitis or something else. My chemo was for non Hodgkin’s lymphoma. I had before so worried what this means now that it’s back so bad.

I was on my 3rd week of chemo and both heels started hurting at the same time. Ive tried everything suggested an have decided i will probably have to wait until treatment is finished for relief. The main problem is walking is very painful and difficult

I’ve worn inserts off and on for years that have helped with callouses. Now undergoing oral chemo for breast cancer I wondered if this was a side-effect or another site of bone metastasis (I have femur and humerus mets). Heel just started hurting last 3 weeks, on and off. I’ll try my old inserts and see if that helps. Thank you. One less worry, I hope.

After 4 days walking around, climbing 5/6 hours a day….then after a 3 hour drive back to the East Bay…,when I arrived home May 2016…the heel/foot pain was at 10…..my Primary Care Doctor, PT and Acupuncturist told me Planter Fasciitis…I have used since Orthopaedic inserts….A few weeks ago I was much better….then After walking a mile in diff shoes….now back + pain up back of leg a few days and now on up though hip to waist😉….

I am a retired Orthopaedic surgeon with lung cancer. After the third chemotherapy I experienced left heel pain typical of plantar fasciitis. Your article was excellent and has reassured me completely.
