RE: heel bone

about ten years ago my right heel started to hurt and after about two weks I

went to see an orthopetic doctor and he told me after the x-ray that I had a

heel fracture. I had a cast put on it, when I had the problem with the left heel

he put a boot on. This is a problem with RA I was told. You may have to go to

see the nice orthopedic doc to get this checked. Mine called it a spontanoues

fracture.

Best wishes for Easter, don't eat to much candy. LOL:)

Hi wonderful people,

I hope there are a few of you here and have not left for Easter holidays

yet.

I have rheumatoid and fibro and have been in remission with minor flares for

11 years. Three yrs ago I fractured 2 metatarsals on the right foot. Pain

off and on. The last year more on than off in the area. Oh how dumb I am ! I

ass umed it was from the fracture and refused to try pads. Two weeks ago I

put in one metatarsal pad (right foot only). Amazing.no more pain.

Two days later my left heel began to hurt anytime I walked. Not on the base

but on the back bone. The bone feels like it has no padding and is just a

raw bone rubbing. Ok so I know what you do for one side of the body you do

for the other.nope.pad not working. Getting major pain now then went away

for the weekend and ran after a 3 yr old and a 5 yr old. My DIL who is not

a medical person said " oh it looks like you have a wart forming. my hubby

had the same pain! "

Since I got home I have tried heel pads and arch supports of every

kind...it is not as bad but if I sit and am off the site all the pain comes

back. I REALLY do not want to see a darn specialist. Anybody have any idea.

This only started since I put in the metatarsal pad!

Thanks for listening.

Thanks Eva. I really hate orthopods.they are so arrogant! I will give it

another week.

I just ate a ton of candy for Valentine day and am still paying for it! I

will not be eating too much.

Hope your Easter is beautiful.
