Symptom #8: Swelling of the Heel
Plantar fasciitis is inflammation of the plantar fascia in one foot or both. Whenever there is inflammation, there is swelling as well. In plantar fasciitis, the swelling typically occurs in the heel. The swelling will worsen if you spend too much time standing or if you walk or run for long distances.
The pain tends to increase as well. Swelling of the heel is more likely to occur when inflammation of the plantar fascia becomes chronic.
