Accepted Answer

Depends on...: ...your symptoms.  "Extra bones" are usually accessory ossicles or secondary ossification centers which have incompletely fused with the rest of a bone. There are some common extra bones around the knee.  If you are not having any pain or other symptoms, it is best to leave them alone.  If you develop symptoms at your knee, then you should see your Doctor for an evaluation.

Question 5

whether soft chappals are good remedy for heel pain by growth of extra bone?

Accepted Answer

They're OK...: But we, as a profession, (and this is really generalized) feel that the key to alleviating the majority of heel pain is with arch support.  It reduces the stress of the pull of the plantar fascia.  For an over-the-counter product, i really like spenco total support insoles.
