I've got a fucking heel spur. I know I've gotten these in the past, but don't remember it lasting as long as this one has. It started hurting Saturday night and is still hurting me today. I thought they typically only last a couple of days so I woke up today thinking I'd be alright, but I was wrong. I can't train quads until this subsides and that's what really pisses me off the most. I work at a job that requires walking throughout my shift so it's hard to tell when this one will pass, but I've been icing it and trying to rest as much as I can when I'm at home. I guess the only other thing to do is try to stretch the foot, but that's hard when your whole upper body is sore.
 
if you've been diagnosed with a heel spur it will always be there and it never go away. it is a small hook of bone that can form at the base of the calcaneaus. the pain you are feeling is one of two things: plantar fasciitis, or tarsal tunnel syndrome. more than likely if it comes and goes its plantar fasciitis.
the hook of bone occurs near the attachment of the plantar fascia on the calcaneaus (heel bone). it causes inflammation of the plantar fascia (hence your pain).
treatment is just what you've been doing. rest, ice, stretching (as long as its not painful), and an anti inflammatory if you wish.

if your heel spur hasnt been diagnosed by xray, theres a chance it is tarsal tunnel syndrome (similar to carpal tunnel syndrome only in the foot).
i just say this because a lot of tarsal tunnel patients are misdiagnosed as having plantar fasciitis because the doc doesnt get an xray to check for the spur. (although tightening of the plantar fascia can happen w/o a spur also)

id say the number one thing you can do for plantar fasciitis is be proactive with it. meaning even when it isnt sore concentrate on stretching it out. try to loosen it up so that the spur doesnt tighten it so much. if you concentrate on stretching it well everyday i'll bet you can avoid the symptoms for good.
 
if you are constantly on y our feet at work , this could be the reason why you have a spur...

my relative had a heel spur from over working .. took 6 months to heal up and that was wearing one of those funny looking padded boots.
Spurs can be a real pain! maybe a cortisol shot may help?
 
plantar fasciitis

Hi
I have [FONT=&quot]plantar fasciitis[/FONT] myself for a few months now. There are many things you can do to treat your PF although I understood that treatment efficiency is very individual. If something works for one it will not always work for the other.
I know there are a few scientific researches that found that there are people with heel spur and without heel pain or plantar fasciitis. On the other hand there are people with pain and plantar fasciitis that has no heel spur. The conclusion is that the heel spur by itself is harmless. I am not an expert but I think that today the podiatrists do not pay much attention to heel spurs.
Take care & Good luck

Thanks for the info bro, I guess I may have to get an xray because it's still killing me.

As far as stretching, what's the best way to stretch it out? I've just been grabbing my toes and trying to stretch the whole foot out, but wasn't sure if there was a specific way to do so

Id say just find one or two ways that really feel good to you and stick with it. You'll be able to tell or probably even already know which one feels best. A physical therapist can probably give you 15 different ways to stretch it out but if you go crazy you're just going to aggravate it.

If pulling your toes toward your shins (dorsi flexion stretching) is feeling good just stick with it and be religious with it for a while. Unless its a huge spur it'll subside.

Ice it after a long day on your feet to reduce the inflammation, after you shower and its warm do your stretches
 
Thanks man, yea, unfortunately my job requires that I'm on my feet for just about my whole shift. And not only that, I do a TON of walking for work so this doesn't really amount to a great ordeal for something like this. But it's starting to be less painful so that's always a plus

I am in the same boat as you- mine started at a convention two weeks ago- I tracked the number miles walked- it was 18.5 miles in 4 days. I have some orthodics I just put in my shoes but it still painful and am afraid to train quads fully as I am afraid I won't be able to hold the weight with proper form.
I stretch every night, but it still remains painful.

If you have been really stretching it every day for a month or so with no relief your spur might be pretty big. You could get an injection that will prob work to some degree. It will wear off over time and you'll have to repeat it.
You can actually have the spur removed but i will say only do it as a last resort. Wounds on the heel are difficult to heal. Infection is more common in this area.
Eventually the spur will most likely grow back and your right back to where u started.
 
Mine finally went away, I iced it a little bit and tried to stretch as much as I could. It still hurt, but I fought through it and it eventually passed. I don't have any pain at all now
 
Yea, I just woke up one day and it was totally gone, there was no pain lessening or anything, just went from hurting one day to nothing the next
 
this was bumped up for silk, she has a bone spur, sounds fucking painful
