Question:

I've had this stabbing pain on my heel, it comes and goes and is bearable but can I continue working out?

What can I do to get rid of that pain?


Answers:

This is something for a Podiatrist to examine. It could be a
bone spur, they are usually in the heel of ones' foot. Or maybe
you pulled something with a tendon. In any case you will need
to be examined and the doctor can advise you on what you
need to do. Like staying off of it a few days, and maybe
soaking it in Epsom salts, or wearing a elastic support or
even an Ace bandage if it's something that requires support
further up your ankle. In any case, he'll probably order an
exray to see what shows up on that before he does anything
else. With any luck, you've just overused that foot more and
it can use a rest if it's maybe a light sprain. But get it checked
before anything can get worse. Then you can sit at home
and prop up your leg and follow the doctors orders til you
can resume your normal activities.
