Answers:
Sever's disease, or calcaneal apophysitis, is the most common cause of heel pain in the growing athlete and is due to overuse and repetitive microtrauma of growth plates of the calcaneus (the big heel bone) in the heel!. It occurs in children ages 7 to 15, with the majority of patients presenting between 10 and 12 years of age!.
