A member asked:
Is a 2 mm loaded heel fat pad considered severely thinned? i am only 35 years old and am concerned as i don't have any predisposing factors.

Yes: The shape of your foot may have something to do with this but as we all age the heel fat pad does thin out. Some people are born with this as well. Try not to walk barefoot and use specific shoes that have good cushioning. Your podiatrist will be able to help you with this
