M72.2: Plantar fascial fibromatosis
You have a disorder of the connective tissue in the sole of your foot.
On the sole of the foot there is connective tissue between the heel and the toes. One function of the connective tissue is to stabilize the foot. Between this connective tissue tendons run from muscles. These muscles are what moves the toes.
Disorders in the connective tissue in the sole of the foot may occur in different ways. Over-use, for example, can cause long-term inflammations in the connective tissue. But the connective tissue may also harden and contract for no obvious reason.
When there is a disorder in the connective tissue, moving your toes may become harder than usual. You may also have pain.
