1 Heel pain can be caused by stress placed on the plantar fascia ligament when it is stretched irregularly, which causes small tears and inflammation. Stretching and strengthening exercises can help the ligament become more flexible and can strengthen muscles that support the arch, in turn reducing stress on the ligament.tretching or massaging the plantar fascia before standing up can often reduce heel pain. 1  Stretch your foot by flexing it up and down 10 times before standing. 2  Do toe stretches to stretch the plantar fascia.
Presence of a predisposing condition - Predisposing conditions include peptic ulcer disease, acute appendicitis, acute diverticulitis, and inflamed Meckel diverticulum. Indeed, acute appendicitis is still one of the common causes of bowel perforation in elderly patients and is associated with relatively poor outcomes.

A perforation may occur anywhere in the digestive tract and may occur when: 1  A crater-shaped sore (ulcer) erodes through the wall of the stomach or a section of intestine. 2  An infection in the appendix erodes through the wall of the appendix.
