Question 2

my heel pain got worse when i accidenly walked over a bump at the edge of a rug. now sore on back of heel. how do i rest the back of the heel?

Accepted Answer

Lift up your heels: Heel,pain at 60 can arise from the Achilles' tendon insertion, plantar fasciitis with spur, more often than direct calcaneus bone irritation. X ray can give some insight, and a trained orthopedist, podiatrist, or PMR doctor can make a correct diagnosis. Make an appointment.  Typically, a small heel lift will rest the tendon, but correct diagnosis is needed first.

Question 3

the inside edge of my heel hurts with every step for 5 minuets afer i stand up. i see nothing there. what is the problem?

Accepted Answer

Plantar fasciitis : This is a very common cause of heel pain.  It's most painful when you take your first steps of the day and after you get up and walk after being off of your feet for awhile. Heel cord (achillies' tendon) stretches, ice and nsaid's are good initial treatments.  Splints, shoe inserts, therapy and oral steroids are used in more persistent cases.  This problem usually resolves and rarely needs surgery.
