In reply to Heel That Pain. I have all three. My feet heals and my calf’s are so painful all of the time. I’m not sleeping because of this. My calf’s are so tight I’m in agony. I have seen a specialist whom gave me orthotic insoles which I’ve had for four weeks now. I do all the exercises that is suggested It’s not getting better at all. Any idea please I’m desperate. HELP!!!!!

I have plantar fasciitis and heel spurs on both of my feet. Every where I read it says the pain is the worse in the morning but I honestly don’t believe so. It’s worse after a 8 hour shift. I have been dealing with this for over two years now been told to stretch take meds blah blah blah… Nothing works! I was recommended to use night splints… within an hour of wearing them both my feet and legs are numb… I have extreme calf pain in both legs… the feeling is worse than the plantar fasciitis… is this common for this foot condition? What should I do? I can feel exactly where the knots are on my calf. My heel spurs are engraved to all my shoes and insoles. Compression sock or emerging my lower body into a cold bath usual do a little bit of the trick. What else should I do. I am a server two days out the week in one restaurant and a manager at another restaurant on the weekends… I’m about ready to cut these legs off myself

My heel is very tender in the morning when waking up and flares up after rest. I can use supportive shoes to get by but once they are off the pain is there. I don’t always wear them, barefoot most of the day at home, and I wear sketchers foam for ease and convenience to run errands which I believe caused this problem. I’m now getting tenderness behind my right ankle and occasionally the latter side of my lower leg. Would this all be tendonitis instead of PF and is the hip involved and weak abs? I feel I need to start a the top for stretching and work down but not sure what muscles to work?

I have flat arches and so much pain in the sole of my foot directly under them. I don’t have any heel pain however, and it is localised to the underside of my arch.
Could this still be plantar fascitis?

I am a long distance runner. I have the sharp pain in the bottom of my heel. It is NOT in my arch. It is not worse in the morning. Does this still sound like PF?

In reply to Heel That Pain. I have both Achilles tendonapothy and plantar fasciitis. I have had a AT since sept 2016. All conventional treatments have failed and I have now been referred for surgery. I have it in both the right and left and just want to be active again! Good luck to anyone trying the physio, acupuncture and shock wave therapy, it didn’t work for me but maybe it will for you!

In reply to Su. YES . . . I, too, am suffering from tendonitis in my R heel, brought on by being prescribed Ofloxin, which is an antibacterial Rx . . . side affects among older patients is potential for tendonitis in one's heel. Extremely painful, and frankly, Phys Therapy was not at all helpful. Drs. need to be aware of this potential side effect amongst older patients.
