My friend is suffering from heel pain, especially in the morning when she gets up she finds difficult to walk but after walking 3-4step she is fine. The pain is there throughout the day but not very severe. What can be the reason? Is altraday a good option? She also tried warm water soaking but no use.

It is probably due to planter fasciitis. She has to use soft sole footwear. And do some exercises. If it doesn't get relieved then ask her to consult an orthopaedic surgeon.

The issue is plantar fasciitis. Along with soft sole you need to do physiotherapy like calf stretching exercises and sole stretching exercises. With physiotherapy you will feel relief within 3 to 4 days.
