Foot Fat Pad Syndrome is a condition that arises from changes in the elasticity and/or thickness of the heel fat pad, this is often caused by wear and tear over time of the fatty tissue that makes up the heel pads of feet which causes pain and can affect our daily routine and interfere with our usual activities.
The symptoms of Foot Fat Pad Syndrome are deep aching pain in the heel, typically in the center of the calcaneus bone which will be around the center of the heel. The pain experienced often feels like a bruise on the heel pad when you press down on the heel while walking, running or standing for an extended period of time. The pain can be triggered by pressing on the center of the heel. Less common symptoms may include tingling, cold or hot/burning sensation.
You need a thorough consultation to identify the cause and treat it as ultrasound, alternative MRI of the foot to reveal fat, bone, tendons and muscle status, and most importantly to measure the thickness of the fat layer. An examination can be referred by us.
Preferred treatment is fat grafting. Our senior consultant Dr. Kajaaji has good experience of this type surgery, and we receive inquiries from around the world for this type surgery.
