Many patients ask themselves, “Do I have plantar fasciitis?” Many patients assume they have plantar fasciitis as it is a fairly well known term but there are many types of heel pain. The types of heel pain shown in the video are the most common types of heel pain we see in the office. Based on the location and the type of pain you are experiencing, it is easy to differentiate between let’s say plantar fasciitis or achilles tendonitis, and plantar fasciitis or fat pad syndrome. Once you have a proper diagnosis, then you can go about treatment for heel pain successfully.
One question we often get asked is if a patient has plantar fasciitis or heel spur. The reality is, is that people may have heel spurs and never have pain in the heel. Or patients may have plantar fasciitis symptoms and are also told they have a heel spur after receiving an x-ray. A heel spur is only present if there has been enough tension or pulling from the plantar fascia which causes the heel bone to elongate at the plantar fascia attachment site. Patients may experience plantar fasciitis pain with a heel spur or they may not. Treatment is same if a patient has plantar fasciitis or heel spur.
Less common types of heel pain but still seen in the clinic are peroneal tendonitis and posterior tibialis tendonitis. Peroneal tendonitis can affect the outer portion of the heel while posterior tibialis tendonitis (or flexor tendonitis) can affect the inner heel area.

Have you ever felt a sensation of pressure in your head? It could be a dull ache or a throbbing pain that seems to radiate from your temples or forehead. For many people, this feeling can be uncomfortable and distressing. In this blog post, we’ll explore the causes, symptoms, and treatment options for pressure in the head.
What is Pressure in the Head?
Pressure in the head is a common symptom that can be caused by a wide range of conditions. It can manifest as a feeling of fullness, heaviness, or tightness in the head. Some people describe it as a band around their forehead or temples. The sensation may be constant or intermittent, and it can vary in intensity.
What Causes Pressure in the Head?
There are many potential causes of pressure in the head, including:
Migraines or tension headaches: These types of headaches can cause a feeling of pressure or tightness in the head. Migraines often involve other symptoms, such as nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and visual disturbances.
Sinusitis: Inflammation or infection of the sinuses can cause pain and pressure in the forehead, cheeks, and around the eyes.
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders: Problems with the joint that connects the jawbone to the skull can cause pain and pressure in the head and face.
Anxiety and stress: Emotional stress and tension can cause physical symptoms, including a feeling of pressure in the head.
High blood pressure: Hypertension can cause headaches and a feeling of pressure in the head.
Other conditions: There are many other conditions that can cause pressure in the head, including brain tumors, aneurysms, and meningitis. These are less common but should be considered if other causes have been ruled out.
Symptoms of Pressure in the Head
The symptoms of pressure in the head can vary depending on the underlying cause. However, common symptoms include:
A feeling of fullness, tightness, or pressure in the head
Dull, aching pain in the head
Throbbing pain in the temples or forehead
Pain that gets worse with movement or activity
Nausea or vomiting (in some cases)
Sensitivity to light and sound (in some cases)
Vision changes or visual disturbances (in some cases)
Treatment Options for Pressure in the Head
The treatment for pressure in the head depends on the underlying cause. If you are experiencing severe or persistent symptoms, it is important to see a doctor to rule out any serious conditions. However, there are some general steps you can take to manage the symptoms of pressure in the head:
Over-the-counter pain relievers: Medications such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help relieve the pain and pressure of headaches.
Prescription medications: If over-the-counter medications are not effective, your doctor may prescribe stronger pain medications or medications specifically for migraines.
Lifestyle changes: Making changes to your diet, exercise routine, and stress levels can help reduce the frequency and severity of headaches.
Complementary therapies: Some people find relief from pressure in the head through techniques such as massage, acupuncture, or biofeedback.
In conclusion, pressure in the head can be a distressing symptom, but it is usually not a sign of a serious condition. By identifying the underlying cause and taking steps to manage the symptoms, most people can find relief from this common problem. If you are experiencing persistent or severe symptoms, be sure to see a doctor to rule out any serious conditions.

Everyone gets headaches from time to time, but migraines are different. For an estimated 15% to 18% of women and 6% of men with migraine, they endure not just intense pain in their head but also nausea; an inability to tolerate light, noise, or odors; confusion; overwhelming fatigue, and more—to the point that they are unable to keep working or be present with family and friends. This inability to function separates migraines from headaches. The good news is that knowledge about them and treatments for them have increased exponentially to the point that most migraine sufferers are able to enjoy meaningful relief that allows them to go about their lives in a fairly normal way. Doctors may prescribe medications, behavioral treatments and lifestyle changes, and even electrical stimulation devices. Learning to distinguish warning signs of an impending migraine from what have traditionally been called “triggers” can greatly improve someone’s ability to manage these episodes. “The understanding of migraine biology and the treatments available have exploded in the last decade; with proper education, consistent use of the tools available can improve the lives of most migraine patients,” says Christopher Gottschalk, MD, a Yale Medicine neurologist and director of Yale Medicine’s Headache and Facial Pain Center. “Unfortunately, migraine remains underdiagnosed, undertreated, and underestimated—according to reports, migraine causes more disability than all other neurological conditions combined. But learning to identify the early signs of a migraine attack and intervene quickly and effectively can provide patients with a level of control they never thought was possible,” he says.

Levothyroxine is a synthetic form of the thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4). The thyroid gland in the human body produces two main hormones, thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), which play a crucial role in regulating the body’s metabolism, energy production, and overall growth and development.
Levothyroxine is primarily used to treat hypothyroidism, a condition where the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormones. This deficiency can lead to a range of symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, hair loss, and depression. By providing the body with a synthetic version of thyroxine, levothyroxine helps restore normal thyroid hormone levels and alleviates the symptoms associated with hypothyroidism.
Levothyroxine is available in various brand names, such as Synthroid, Levoxyl, and Euthyrox, among others. It is usually taken orally in the form of tablets or capsules. The dosage of levothyroxine is determined by a healthcare provider based on factors such as the patient’s age, weight, severity of hypothyroidism, and other medical conditions.
It’s important to note that proper dosing and regular monitoring are crucial when taking levothyroxine. Too much or too little thyroid hormone can have significant effects on the body’s metabolism and overall health. Therefore, patients prescribed levothyroxine often undergo periodic blood tests to ensure that their thyroid hormone levels are within the appropriate range.
While levothyroxine is generally considered safe and effective, there are potential side effects and interactions with other medications. Common side effects may include headache, nervousness, increased appetite, and changes in menstrual cycle for some women. Interactions with certain medications or supplements can also affect its effectiveness or lead to adverse effects.
If you suspect you have a thyroid condition or are experiencing symptoms of hypothyroidism, it’s important to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment recommendations. Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions when taking levothyroxine or any other medication. Video Rating: / 5

CLOUD 9+ – HIDE THE PAIN
I’ve been stuck in my head
I’m bleeding
I can’t do this shit on my own
I’m just stuck in my thoughts
Nothing can save me
You’d better run run before I’m gone
You call me anything you want, but I’ll never hide
You call me anything you want, but I’ll never hide
You call me anything I wanna be, never hide
You’re insane, You’re insane
Never hide the pain…
I was the last to know
Why did nobody tell me
She just walked away
When we were not okay
Anyway, now my hopes are gone
You shot me down, your soul is a gun
And trying to kill me
This fear is neverending
Feels like a bird who can’t ever be landing
This song flows through my veins
But I can’t hide the pain
I’m just stuck in my head
I’m bleeding
I cant do this shit on my own
I’m just stuck in my thoughts
Nothing can save me
You’d better run run before I’m gone
You call me anything you want, but I’ll never hide
You call me anything you want, but I’ll never hide
You call me anything I wanna be, never hide
You’re insane, you’re insane Video Rating: / 5
