Its Not a Heel Spur................. Posted: 05-30-04 13:02pm
Have had this recurring burning sensation
/stabbing type pain in my left heel since
sept of 03.It is not in the bottom of the
heel, but right below the ankle bone
outter side. Went to the podiatrist, had
xrays and was sent home to soak foot 20
min in hot hot hot h2o, then pack it in
ice ofr 20 min. Then, roll foot over a
soup can for about 10-15minutes. Ok. I
was faithful to this for about 2
weeks..................Oh, was also put on
some kind of anti-flammitory medication.
Long story short, I can tell no
difference. The xrays shows dark masses
in the area I was having pain and burning.
But I was given no explanation. It has
been over 6 months. I am not going back
to this person, because I felt he was
joke. If this sounds like I should find a
reliable other podia. Dr. I will.
Please anyone that has experienced this
and knows whats going on please....Let me
know! This Dr. Admitted he wasn't sure
what it was.....Duh I only wear new
balance shoes so I know its not my shoes!
No accidents and not into running! Thanks
for listening!

Heel Pain Posted: 10-15-04 18:55pm
Well I guess there's not alot of people
out there with this problem but it sure
has been a problem for me too! I've been
to two differant doc's. The first one
said I had a bone sur on my right heel.
He gave me a cort. Injection. After
that I walked out of the office like a new
women. That is until a week later when
the pain came back and its been getting
worse. I then went to a second doctor
and he told me that I was not streching it
enough. He gave me anti/inf. I had to
stop taking that due to
gastritus(misspelled).
I spoke to a lady at chruch and she gave
me a bottle of dmso.
You can go on-line to find it. It seem
to work ok. My pain gets really bad
sometimes, when I have been standing to
much.
I have had this pain for almost a year
now, and its getting to me too. The
black spots in your xray may have just
been a bad xray. But you do need to
investgate it more. Go to another doc.
Heel pain, they say is hard to cure.
There are vit. You can take : c, flax
oil, ginger,pancreatic enzymes and
bromelain) I found these on-line. You
can also use athletic tape and suport our
heel(find out on-line). I am going to
try taping and vit. Next myself. Must do
something, pain is keeping me from
life!!!!!!! Hope this helps.

It sounds like you both have pf. I, too,
have it and know exactly what your are
going through. I have been suffering for
over 2 years and all conservative
treatments have failed. I am currently
considering surgery. Check out these
websites for more info on pf:
