The symptoms: Plantar fasciitis, an inflammation in the bottom of the foot, is perhaps the peskiest problem that plagues the running wounded. The common characteristic of this condition is a sharp, tight, painful sensation at the base of the heel that can be anywhere from annoying to excruciating.

Do Something About It

1. Pay attention to everyday aches.- Nearly 80% of people ages 21 and older have had a foot problem, according to a survey from the Institute for Preventive Foot Health. Anything from improper shoes to high-impact exercise can trigger a condition. To avoid injury, take discomfort seriously.
