Baxters nerve entrapment is a problem that occurs at the heel and can often be misdiagnosed as plantar fasciitis. Complicating this is that he inflammation associated with plantar fasciitis can actually cause the Baxters neuritis! Differentiating between the two is important so that the treatment can be better directed. Plantar fasciitis is more painful in the morning compared to the Baxters neuropathy. The pain of a Baxters nerve entrapment tends to radiate more than the pain from plantar fasciitis. A unique feature of Baxters is that that those with it tend to have a problem abducting the little toe, however so do a lot of people so it is not that accurate.
