Bad sore on the back of my heel?!
Question: Bad sore on the back of my heel!?
I took up running as of late!. I love it, except that when I run, an old wound on the back of my right heel aches very badly!. I got the wound from scrapping my heel against a metal door stop about a year ago and didn't have it properly take care of!. After running for three days, i had to stop sooner than I wanted to tonight because it was in so much pain!. What can I do to alleviate the pain when I run!? Is there anyway I can completely heal the old wound!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
There's no doubt you need to go to a doctor to get it checked!. Simply because the way your body works is like so:
You get a wound, your body tries to heal it!.
If something is wrong with the tissues, like the damage is bad enough, the healing may take longer than usual!. Also, it may not properly heal!.
I think going to a GP and have it checked is your best bet!. Simply because it's quite apparent the way you describe it, something is interfering!. My guess is bacteria or something!. Also, each time you walk, you interfere with your healing!. That's a factor and most likely causes you to never heal!. Instead, you just keep prolonging the process!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If the wound hasn't already completely healed by now I would be seeing a doc about it!. You could cushion the area and not tie your shoes up as tightly to allow for the cushioning!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
go to an urgent care for an eval to rule out infection!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
