why does it hurt me on right heel ..like sum bone hurting inside..esp aftr long walks or standing..physical ex

Answer 1

It could be bone spurs or plantar fascitis. See your doc to get his diagnosed and treated.

Answer 2

OMG I hope it's not Plantar Fasciitis! Typical symptoms are pain first thing in the morning when you take your first step right in the center of the heel. It feels like your bone is grinding right on the floor. I had this twice and it ended my running career, so I really hope it's not that.

Another possibility is a pinched nerve; you'll feel numbness around the heel or electrical pains. This would be Tarsal Tunnel Syndrom (NOT Carpal Tunnel; that's your wrist); look that up to see if the symptoms match.

Yeah, I ran myself into the ground over 25 years! But I loved every minute of it.

The web site below will definitely help you make the pain go away if you have plantar fasciitis. I learned to tape up the foot, that really helped me! So I love this site.

Plantar fasciitis, which may cause the heel to hurt, feel hot or swell, is inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thin layer of tough tissue supporting the arch of the foot. Repeated microscopic tears of the plantar fascia cause pain. Sometimes plantar fasciitis is called "heel spurs", but this is not always accurate, since bony growths on the heel may or may not be a factor. Heel spurs at the back of the heel are frequently associated with inflammation of the Achilles tendon (tendinitis) and cause tenderness and pain at the back of the heel made worse while pushing off the ball of the foot.Local ice applications both reduce pain and inflammation. Antiinflammatory medications, such as ibuprofen or injections of cortisone are often helpful. Orthotic devices or shoe inserts are used to take pressure off plantar spurs (donut-shaped insert) and heel lifts can reduce stress on the Achilles tendon to relieve painful spurs at the back of the heel. Similarly, sports running shoes with their soft, cushioned soles can be helpful in reducing irritation of inflamed tissues from both plantar fasciitis and heel spurs. Infrequently surgery is performed on chronically inflamed spurs. I have been dealing with the same pain and thought mine was a bone spur but it happened to be a overworked achilles tendon. I use IBP and ice twice a day. Also sitting in the hot tub each day really helps. Stay off the treadmill for a few weeks, and rest the foot. Good luck.

Start with a chiropractor and arch supports

Much pain is from muscles below is an example of what may help (based on headaches).
Begin with a couple swigs of molasses or a couple of bananas daily - magnesium (which regulates many things in the body) and potassium (a needed building block for muscles).
Drink at least 1/2 gallons of water per day. Running a body low on water is like running a car low on oil is the analogy the head of neurology at UCDavis told my husband about 10 years ago.

Now to the cause - muscles - your back, neck shoulders and head have tender spots. They are knots in the fibers of the muscles called trigger points. It makes the muscles tight which makes them press on nerves and other things causing the pain.

The cure - start with a professional massage, you will also want to go back over any place you can get to 6-12 times per session up to 6 times per day rubbing (or lightly scratching on your head) every where that is tender until the knots go away. The place where the skull connects to the spine press up under the edge of the skull (to get to those muscles).

For more information read The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies. It teaches what to do and where the pain comes from.

Answer 5

You could have a bone spur on your heel. This will cause considerable discomfort. Go to a podiatrist (foot doctor) to see what he/she would recommend.
I developed a bone spur on my heel after stepping on my son's Lego. I had to have cortizone shots (OUCH) in my heels and wear othotics for a while. But, they did help.

Answer 6

You could have a bone spur which will take a while to heal after your Dr. diagnoses. Good luck!
