Surgery for a heel spur?!
Question: Surgery for a heel spur!?
Have you had surgery for a heel spur!?
My heel pin has been life changing; in a bad way!.
An X-ray revealed a heel spur caused by (or caused!?) plantar fasciitis!.
The podiatrist gave me shoe inserts to take the pressure off of the heel with high arch support!. He also gave me a prescription for NSAIDS!.
I want a cure!
Have you had surgery or another treatment that rid you of your heel spur permanently!? What was it like!? What were the cost to you and the results!?

Answers:
I have used resting night splints with great success on many of my patients with plantar fasciitis!. It works best for those who have sharp heel pain in the morning or after standing up from sitting for a while
I have also seen stubborn cases of plantar fasciitis respond to special taping techniques and other forms of treatment offered by physical therapy!.
Have your doctor send you to a physical therapist, there is a lot they can do for you including massage, therapeutic ultrasound, anti inflammatory patches, exercises, ice posture/positioning, splinting, prevention etc!.
Performing a simple plantar fascia stretch several times a day, icing and using a plantar fasciitis resting night splint (can be purchased at most medical supply stores) may do the job!.
70 percent of the plantar fasciitis cases have some heel spurs and I have seen many cases resolve, Therefore the spurs themselves are not always the source of the pain!.
