Heel pain after running?
Heel pain after running often makes runners wonder if they should stop completely or run through it. PainFreeU starts with a simple response test.
First check: Stand or walk in the same way that usually reveals the heel pain. Rate 0 to 10. Test one lower-leg or heel passage, then repeat the same check.
Use the 0 to 10 loop
Write down the number before you do anything. After the first step, measure the same movement or feeling again. The goal is not to prove anything. The goal is to listen to the body with less guessing.
Stop signals: Stop and get help if there is trauma, marked swelling, redness/heat, numbness, inability to bear weight or strong new pain.
Next step
If the signal is mild and familiar, PFU Pocket can guide you through the first measured step. If the signal is severe, new or unclear, do not use this as medical advice.
