A member asked:

I have pain on the outside of my foot. dr said it was achilles' tendon heel spur. how can this be if the swelling and pain are on the side?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

GOOD POINT: That's a good point. A retrocalcaneal spur should hurt directly behind the heel bone. Talk to your doctor again; make sure he/she knows exactly where the pain is located, and ask them this same question.
