Yes: Your heel problem can affect your mechanics of walking leading to sprain of ankle ligaments. Make sure your footwear is appropriate and adds proper support. Are you dealing with plantar fasciitis or tendinitis of the Achilles? Is a podiatrist involved in your care and follow-up? I feel podiatrists give the best care and follow-up for fasciitis.

Been using heel lifts, ice, compression sleeve, night splint, NSAID and stretching to help Achilles pain for a week. Tendon still hurts and burns when walking. Worse after work (standing and walking for hours). When can I expect improvement?

I have been having pain in my leg for a long time. It hurts so much that it's hard to walk. It hurts while I'm resting too. There's no redness or warmth but I do have a history of blood clots. I don't want to go to the ER if it's nothing.

I've had calf pain in my left leg for over three years now. No swelling or redness but it hurts to walk on. Could this be a DVT after all this time?
