I had that & tried everything, the only thing that worked was getting a good pair of orthotics to go in my shoe's. The dr. tried to have me have surgery for heel sours but these did the trick.
In the summer I wear Birkenstock German sandals that have a built in arch bed & they also do the trick.
DO NOT GET INJECTIONS, I had them & not only are they really painful but as soon as they wore off my heel pain came back, only worse. The orthotics cured the problem.

There are a few things you can do to try to alleviate the pain. If you aren't already you need to stretch the Achilles tendon of the heel to keep it from tightening over the structures that may be causing you this heel pain. Secondly you can try some contrast baths. Get yourself 2 buckets of water, one warm out of the tap and one cool out of the tap. Put your affected foot in the warm bath for 4 minutes and move the toes and ball up the foot. After the 4 minutes put the foot in the cool bath and keep it there for 1 minute without moving it. Repeat as follows:
Warm 4
Cool 1
Warm 4
Cool 1
Warm 4
Total of 19 minutes. The bath can be repeated 3-4 times per day if needed. If this doesn't work consult you physician and make an appointment with a Physical Therapist. Hope this helps

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that. I know a lot of those prescriptions can do a number on the system. Yes, there are several natural supplements that help joint health, which may remove the cause of the pain. The most popular are Microlactin, Tart Cherries, Glucosamine, Chondroitin, MSM, Hyaluronic Acid, Danish Rose Hips, and Bromelain. The only thing to really watch out for is allergies. Glucosamine is typically from Shellfish and Microlactin is from milk. As long as you're not allergic to those, you should have no problem. Good luck and I hope I helped!

Heel pain is common illness usual among house wives because they run around the house .Doctors usually prescribe some NSAID or some cortisone injection in to born as last resort.
But from my experience I can guaranty relief by going on to Ayurveda treatment.A home remedy is putting your heels on a moderately hot tile(brick) for some time every day.

It's always best to get checked by your doctor. In the meantime, you can ease some of the pain by soaking your foot in hot water and epsom salts. Have the water as hot as you can stand it and use about 1-1/2 cups of epsom salts mixed in. You can buy it from any grocery store and it's very inexpensive.
Hope your able to get this worked out. Good luck.

It's probably just a heel spur - and you just need to rest it for it to heal. Your doctor can prescribe medicine to help with the inflammation. Also consider getting shoes with better support and also getting Dr. Scholl's inserts.

Is it worse when you first stand up after sitting or when you get up in the morning? Or when you're pulling boots on your feet? That's when mine is worst, and my doc said it's plantar something-I-can't-spell. He said to wear inserts (I haven't yet) and to take a cold can of pop out of the fridge, put it on the floor, and roll it back and forth under your foot, from your heel to the ball of your foot. I've done this, and it's helped.

If the pain is moderate and comes and goes you could wear an insert sole in the form of a horseshoe to alleviate the pressure of the heelbone on the muscular tissues. If this does not help I would recommend local injections with cortisone.
All the best

an injection (i forgot the name) into your heel will solve the problem.it happens with almost every 1 in 5 defence personnel.this problem basically arises due to overgrowth of a particular bone/cartilage of your heel ; which is dissolved with the injection.
