### Patient: Doctor, I've been experiencing a lot of pain in my heels lately. It's especially bad in the mornings when I first get up. I've read about plantar fasciitis and I think that might be what's going on. What kind of tests do I need?
### Doctor: Based on your symptoms, it is possible that you have plantar fasciitis. The required medical tests include an examination of your foot, as well as radiographic imaging procedures such as a plain x-ray. Additionally, physical therapy exercises and application of a splint may be recommended. We may also conduct a lipid panel and other therapeutic procedures.
