The heels of my foot hurt very bad. It's almost too painful to stand or walk for very long. When I run my hand over my foot, I feel one spot that is raised on both feet. It's pretty much in the same spot on both feet. You can't see the spot but you can feel it. I have no idea what this could be. I do however think that I know the cause. I'd like your feedback on this and what you think. Since it's been cold, I've been wearing socks only on my feet instead of my regular flip flops and since I've been doing this that's when I've noticed the problem. Please help me on what I can do to relieve the pain and also help me to find what's causing this!!!

Well it could be a number of things, if it is on the bottom of your heel, it could be a heel spur, ouch... or a bruise, or the tendon could be dry and stretched, very painful. the best thing to do is to take a got bath, stay off of it for a few days and see if that helps.
If after a few days it still hurts, you may want to go to the health food store to the vitamen dept and ask the person that works there what would they suggest for this type of pain. Show them where it hurts, describe how it feels and when it hurts. that should do it.

A coworker had that on one of her feet. I don't remember what it was called. She had to have surgery and wasn't able to run the marathon.

My mom was diagnosed with plantar facitus and had very similar symptoms to what you are describing. Make an appointment with your doctor and good luck.

Sounds like a heel spur to me.

It can be treated in various ways, first having an xray to determine if this is the right diagnosis of course.

I prefer him as he was in the first run of DX in 97.
