A member asked:
I feel a bruise in my right heel from basketball. it bothers me a little bit when walk and i was wondering if there's anything that can be done.

Inflammation: of the plantar fascia ( plantar fasciitis ) , basically the ligament running from heel to front of foot to support arch is likely. A calcium deposit causing a bony spur at the heel is also possible. See a doctor. An x-Ray might help. NSAIDs, physical therapy, cortisone injection, a shoe orthotic or night splints may help with symptoms as well as rest from sporting activities.
