heel bone pain

[Guest guest]

Hi youns great people!

I think it was Eva that said my heel pain could be a fracture. She was

close.

Let me go back. Suddenly in the middle of exercising I had pain in my left

heel bone on the side.not palnters faciias(sp bad) . Went on for about a

week.could not walk in shoes. Asked this group what could it be? Made an

app with orthopod...took 4 weeks to get seen. Pain is almost gone but I

decided to go because every once in a while it would come back less severe.

Saw orthopod today. I have burcitis of the heel. Actually inflammation of

the bursa(kinda like fat sack)of the heel. Of course he wanted to inject

cortisone.I think they manufacture it in their back rooms. I opted not to

have it.

I have to get a shoe with a deeper heel (I was actually lifting the heel

with pads). Use a pad with a hole on the side(did that already and it was

worse) and if it gets really painful again which it may.return for

injection. It may get bad enough to have a surgical removal. I told my

husband doc said to stay off the foot and not cook!

So in case you all get anything like this.you know what to do. I'm just

going to increase my Minocin back to 2 times a day 3 times a week for a

while.

Hugs to all.
