WHY DOES MY HEEL HURT IN THE MORNING? Going back to that fist step you take in the morning, you may want to know why your heel hurts so bad when you wake up and take those first few steps. Well, for many plantar fasciitis sufferers, the pain normally subsides to some degree for a good portion of the day after that rough patch in the morning. This is because you've had a chance to get up and around and the constant strain on your fascia is actually stretching it out. Then, when you lay down for the night, your feet have a chance to relax. This period where there is no stress on your feet allows the fascia and Achilles to contract while you lay in bed. For several hours there is no pressure being applied to the ligament and it has the opportunity to adapt to a nonfunctional state. This is when you feel that sharp pain and this is why many physicians will suggest a stretching routine first thing in the morning... to loosen up the tissue. Of course, there is another way to get around this. The night splint keeps your Achilles and fascia stretched all night and most research actually supports claims that it helps to reduce morning pains as well as helps in the overall recovery of plantar fasciitis!
