Menopause and plantar fasciitis
Musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause commonly presents as morning heel pain.
Why it happens
Estrogen receptors regulate collagen turnover in plantar fascia. Loss thins fat pads and increases stiffness.
Treatment
Calf/soleus eccentrics, night splint, supportive footwear. HRT reduces musculoskeletal pain in trials.
