Heel pain (Read 646 times)

Ok, issue for me that keeps cropping up and I can't seem to figure out. My right heel hurts. Not first thing in the morning, mostly as day goes on. If I have a day where I'm not on my feet much, it might not hurt at all, or just a little. On other days it hurts so bad I can hardly walk. Tried icing, stretching, and ibuprofen (Alieve). I've switched shoes because I was told my feet pronate in (can't remember the correct term). But, the pain has been consistent no matter what shoes I'm in. Any suggestions? I'm hoping someone has had something similar and can give me a suggestion. Running doesn't seem to make it worse, pretty much stays consistent throughout the day. Help. BTW have been to podiatrist numerous times, thought I had PF, sent me in for CAT scan, also nerve test (very painful) and nothing.

My heel pain was diagnosed as Peroneal Tendonitis. It was an acute soft tissue injury from running a 5K too fast for my new runner legs. Pain was excruciating in the beginning, had to go on a low dose steroid to extinguish the inflamation. 6 weeks off from running. Started back very slow, and now running good again, although my heel pain is still there just in a duller form. I find it gets irritated when I do my long run, but does not bother me too terribly otherwise. try not going barefoot around the house too. always have supportive footwear on whenever possible, this will help. Good Luck!

This could be chronic achilles tendonitis. although im only basing it on your pain in the heel in the moring. here are a few symptoms Pain and stiffness in the Achilles tendon especially in the morning. This pain may be described as diffuse along the tendon rather than specific. There may nodules or lumps in the achilles tendon, particularly 2cm above the heel. Pain in the tendon when walking especially up hill or up stairs. Chronic tendonotis differs from acute tendinitis in that it is more of a long term persistent problem.
