A member asked:
I wore flat, sling backed sandals for the first time. i developed this painful inflammation on back of heel. not blister. what is it?

Pump bump...: More than likely, the strap caused pain at the attachment of the achilles tendon on your heel. It is probably more of a bursitis. Use ice, ibuprofen, rest and stay out of those shoes for a while. If no relief in a week, see a Podiatrist.
