This case report presents a patient that had an atypical presentation of radiculopathy which was misdiagnosed as plantar fasciitis. A 67-year-old male patient had presented with primary complain of continuous, aching, pain involving the sole of both feet, aggravated with walking. He had been treated as a case of plantar fasciitis, including depot steroid injection. He had presented to our clinic failing these measures. Clinical evaluation and neurophysiologic study diagnosed him to be a case of bilateral S1 radiculopathy. This case emphasizes the importance of differentiation between neuropathic and nociceptive pain by clinical examination and nerve conduction study. Mandal S, Das G, Sarvesh B, Thomas P, Sari I.
