I wake up and my heels are burning. After I get up and walk on the cold floor and stretch them out, I get some relief. What do you think is causing this? I also get stabbing pains intermittently in my left foot only. It’s on the side of my foot. I have to put a Salonpas pad on it to disrupt it!

I finally got some help after 3 years of heel pain and moderate limping- I wear a boot/splint at night and when relaxing – I have a heavy duty 6 strap boot I can wear to walk if I want – not so much tho – increasing vitamin D and using Diclofenac topical gel 3x a day …. noticed great relief from burning and walking better within a few days …. takes discipline to apply gel and keep boot on , but worth it!!

What if you have both. I have been diagnosed with both. My bursitis is in the bottom of my heal. I’m not sure what to do anymore. It hurts so bad. I have ha shot and orthopedic inserts. The Dr said I have a bone spur but that wasn’t the source of my pain.

Hello , I woke up with severe pain left heal. The pain is in the back of the heel about middle. I can’t walk, only on my tip toes and pain in the middle of bottom heel of I push on it. Started 3 days ago. Taking 800 ibuprofen keeping up and cold wrap, it feels a little better. I know no insurance harmony much cash (social security) if I have to go I will but scared.. hate to wait if it makes it worse. Should I keep doing what I’m doing. The only thing I can think I did was got out of a truck wrong Saturday.

The back of my heel is causing me terrible pain, to touch, to walk etc. I’ve tried icing, wraps nothing seems to take the pain away. I’m 57 and have lived a very active life. It’s getting the best of me.

In reply to Jill Duck. A specialist said I have this condition. I ice and wear shoes without a back and arch support with lots of heel cushion. I have been in pain for 3 years. Aches constantly

Thanks for the info. I find if I sit with my foot up all of a sudden my foot goes numb and I can hardly move my foot. Would I have squished a bursitis? Thanks Jill

hi there, i think i have bursitis as i did some exercise i am not used to and now the back of my heel hurts. it hurts when i stretch my achilles tendon (point my toes upwards towards my face if i’m sitting on a chair) and throughout the day i can feel it hurting. after i have been walking, i will relax and when i get up, the pain is especially bad. there is no obvious bump or anything but if i press the skin behind my heel in some areas, it is tender and hurts to touch.

i am taking ibruprofen (an NSAID), icing my foot, elevating it… but i have a tournament for basketball this saturday. should i play or no?)
