Heel Pain

[V-Man]

Has anyone ever had problems with heel pain.

My left heel hurts and now its increasing. I know I abused it a lot during my life cause over the years I walk barefoot on hard surfaces all the time. My mother always warned me to put shoes on.

I contacted my doctor for an xray and he won't order one unless I come in and see him which won't be until Dec. 8th.

Not sure if its a bone spur or what. It normally doesn't effect me but it did with squats.

I'm thinking of trying to get some new shoes with extra heel cushioning or get a gel insert of some kind. Maybe an orthotic.

I have to do something I can't compete if I can't walk barefoot.

Anyone with suggestions I appreciate it.

Thanks

Your best bet is to get the x-ray which tells all and then you can go from there, you doctor will advise you on what to do. Heel spurs are very painful so I feel your pain. Went thru the same problem 5 yrs ago and researched it on the net and found a pill that slowly removed it. Not sure if it worked or not but no more pain. Wish I could tell you what this product was but I just don't remember. Google "heel spurs" and go from there.

OR another common one is plantar fasciitis. Micro tears in the fascia.They slowly get bigger causing more inflammation and pain..
