Guest guest Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 hmacneil, Your note is the first one that describes what I have gone through for years. It is in the back of the heel and hurts the most when I am trying to sleep or when I use an ottoman. I did see a podiatrist for another problem recently so I asked him about it. His reply was that a nerve was being pinched and all I needed to do was use a pillow at night under my feet as you described. I still have the pain.
