What do i do if pain suddenly increases from a prior diagnosed heel spur?

Rest, ice, NSAIDs: The heel spur is a sign that there is traction on the bone, but is rarely the cause of the pain. Plantar fasciitis is usually the culprit. Sudden increases in pain can be treated with rest, good supportive footwear, gel heel cups, ice massage, stretching of the calf muscles and anti-inflammatories (nsaids). All ot these can be done on your own. Of course, physicians can add many treatment measures.

Stretching exercises: Frequent calf muscle stretching and soft cushion, along with night splints should be tried first.

THREE THOUGHTS: Sudden onset of increased pain from a spur? One-did the spur fracture off the heel?-need a new x-ray. Two-rupture of the plantar fascia. Three-gout.
