Heel spur

[Tygrrh]

Has anyone had a heel spur (on one or both heels)? How did you deal with it, did it go away etc

I have one and slowly starting another but my specialist appointment is in April. Unfortunately, for me (as in my situation), this is restricting my workouts coz its just too damn painful.

Suggestions, advice...anything?

What is a heel spur?

Oh haha lol. A heel spur is really fucking painful is what it is

it's caused by the body excessively depositing calcium to the heel to deal with prolonged inflammation. Is also generally related to plantar faciitis.

You need to see someone at the NZ Foot Alignment Clinic. Fixed mine - absolutely nothing else did and I had the pain for 14 months!

A Heel Spur is that the growth of the nail, as in the heel bone that goes beyond the skin of the foot. This happens because of plantar fascistic a condition where the plantar fascia that connects your heel bone to the ball with the foot is worn and inflamed. The plantar fascia is to support the arch while on the go. This part gets all the power and weight that comes from the whole body when walking running jumping or simply standing. When this thick fabric can not handle the power it has it becomes inflamed and most of the time results in a heel spur or plantar fascistic which is painful.

Google "superficial back line " and start stretching it out, you can see how it runs from you head to the back of your feet. I would hazard a guess you probably also have tight calves hammies lower back?

, I kinda believe though that you getting them for a reason, something elsewhere is transferring stress and your poor little foot is not handeling it

Probably completely wrong though
