A member asked:

I have severe pain on the bottom of my foot to the heel... it's hard to walk, what can b the cause of it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Heel spur syndrome: You probably have heel spur syndrome. To confirm you need to be evaluated and have x-rays taken and a treatment plan started to relieve your symptoms such as pt, orthotics, cortisone injections or even surgery. This should be your discussion with your foot health provider.
