Is it heel spurs?!
Question:
Is it heel spurs?
I have terrible pain in my heels, especially the right. It's not the back of the heel, its at the bottom. The pain is worse in the morning, better as the day goes but once Ive walked on it over an hour or so, it hurts again. Is this heel spurs or what? And how can I relieve this?
Answers:
This sounds like plantar fasciatis. The hallmark is that the heel really hurts when you first step on it in the morning. It can take a while for this to go away- make sure you always wear shoes- do stretching exercises to lengthen the arch area and think about wearing a splint to bed to keep the feet "cocked up" as when we sleep we let the ligaments contract and then when you step on it in the morning it is too tight.
