My heel hurts when i walk or put pressure on it. what could i be?

Heel pain: Can be caused by plantar fascitis, heel spur, fracture, acilles tedonitis etc. Suggest you get x-ray and see a podiatrist for diagnosis and treatment.

Heel pain: 90% of heel pain (plantar fasciitis) goes away, even without treatment. The best treatment depends on a lot things, age, activity, pmh because there can be a lot of causes. Start with stretching of your calf muscle 3x daily for 30 sec each leg. Ice, rest, use antiinflammatory meds and possible otc inserts. If pain continues, seek further assistance from your doctor. Hope this helps!

Plantar fasciitis: Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation or deterioration of the tissue that makes up your foot arch. Best managed with stretching your arch and soft supportive orthotics/shoe inserts. Night splints can sometimes be of benefit. Cortisone injections are also popular and effective. There has been recent interest in platelet rich plasma injections. Avoid surgery if possible.

Heel cup : Several other things can help a simple plastic heel cup made by m-f athletics ( they are pretty cheap and many drug stores carry them) can help and over the last few decades I have seen many helped with this also backward walking / a dorsiflexion nite splint / and/or wrapping /the foot &ankle with plastic wrap at bed time this is for plantar fascitis.

Plantar fascitiis: Is a distinct possibility. Ice it, perform achilles' tendon stretches, take an antiinflammatory if not contraindicated, and see a podiatrist if the above dont work. An over the count arch support can be tried as well.

Depends: It depends on where your heel hurts. On the bottom it's likely plantar fasciitis but if it hurts in back could be achilles tendinitis or bursitis behind the heel bone.

You may have : Plantar fascitiis. Try icing the heel, and performing achillles tendon stretches, use an arch support in your shoe......If pain persists see a foot doc.

Plantar fasciitis.: The most common cause of heel pain is plantar fasciitis: an inflammation of a thick band of tissue that helps hold up the arch of your foot. It attaches to your heel bone, and is usually the most painful during the first few steps in the morning, or after sitting a long time and then standing quickly. Check with your podiatrist to rule out nerve damage, stress fracture, or other bony problems.
