The Big Lie About Heel Spurs, Heel Pain, & Plantar Fasciitis.

[@hisalone7166]

I was just dx today with a heel spur. My previous doc treated me for plantar fasciitis and I got zero relief. Got a shot and am wearing a boot for a few days. I now have zero pain. The prior pain was incredible. Praise God for my new doc!!!

[@katywaldrop5036]

You guys are awesome, thanks for all you do! I don't have real insurance, so when I developed this severe heel pain I felt trapped. This info. has saved me from going the surgery route. Many blessings to you and yours for your generosity ❤️

[@madisonrondos3695]

When they said “you probably wake up in pain” and where your probably feeling pain I knew this had to be the answers to my prayers!

[@garylsmalley]

You guys are telling the truth and are 100% correct. I had heel pain, xrays revealed a bone spur and I went to a foot specialist. He did injections, which didn't help at all. I went to a surgeon, but he told me it may not be a cure because often the spur comes back. I could hardly walk, and by chance, I mentioned my problem to me G.P. doctor, who as it turned out was trained in sports medicine. He gave me two stretching exercises to do several times a day that do the same thing as the toe stretch you showed. Within 1.5 weeks my pain was gone, hasn't come back and I still have the spur. What you guys are saying WORKS. Thanks for sharing this info.

[@Spiral.Dynamics]

Y’all. I’ve done everything these guys and my podiatrist says and they all work to stop the pain. What worked best for me was cutting out inflammatory foods like sugar, potatoes, dairy and grain. My heel pain is completely gone and for over a year.

None of this worked for me, and I tried it all. I had severe plantar fascitis in one foot. I went to podiatrist who sent me to physical therapy, but it never got any better. I probably spent over $500 on insoles, shoes, tape, splint. etc., and none of it worked. I was in agony for one year straight. I did the exercises, massage, icing it, etc. I finally decided on my own to wear a walking boot. I bought it from amazon and wore it from the moment I woke up until I went to bed. It was such a relief because it completely took the pain away. After four weeks, I started only wearing it when I had to be on my feet for more than an hour or so. I did that for two weeks. And then I was totally healed! I cured it by letting it heal and stopped messing with it. It was *injured* and all the physical therapy and exercises were making it worse. Stretching did nothing but continuously re-injure it in my case and prolonged my agony by many months. If it had been booted immediately, I would have been out of pain right away and it would have healed permanently in 6 weeks. Eventually I would have ended up getting surgery if I had continued listening to my podiatrist.

[@BrownPeace]

Awesome. Do you mind posting the type of boot from Amazon?? 🙏🏽

[@RealMexFoodShouldntGiveUDrrhea]

That’s what I want to do too, just take all the movement and pressure off of my foot. I’m in so much pain I can’t even walk to the bathroom.

[@sherry-ann7802]

Hi there, I’m curious of what kinda boot you used. Might have to try this

[@stevejensen587]

I had plantar fasciitis in both heels, foot doctor gave me insoles, which helped a bit. Two years later I was diagnosed with inflammatory arthritis. I wish I would have been told that having it in both feet may indicate bigger problems so I could have started treatment sooner. Enjoy your videos.

Awesome! Thank you guys. I have been suffering with a fractured heel bone, but am healing, I switched to a better doctor, ankle/foot specialist in sports injury. I had the in MRI done in June and another September 9, and the Dr. said the bone is now healed. Still have some pain 5/10, following your suggestions and now will be going to PT. I have had this problem since Nov. 2019. The first podiatrist did not want to do an x-ray. I was in a lot of pain, had injection of steroid and that did not last. I did research and found answers and a much better physician. Thanks again :)

I followed the advice online on how to remove a bone spur on my foot- (Plantar Fasciitis a calcium deposit). It may remove a kidney stone as well since they are made of the same material. I mixed 2 Tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar with the Mother (living) (Regular Vinegar might work too), mix in 1/4 teaspoon Baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon citric acid (optional) and drank this twice a day. In 2 days my painful, crippling bone spur of 10 years was gone! Look at your urine (pee) and see if it is cloudy. If so, this will mean the bone spur is dissolving. Interestingly, this is also what they use to naturally remove calcium deposits from your sink! I also a use a gua sha stone (Jade or Rose Quartz) with oil on my foot to stretch out my bunched up tendon that still causes pain. My podiatrist said the tendon gets bunched up and cut from the the bone spur; so that will take a little while to heal (no pun intended!) Also, if you have a hill or mountain to climb near you; do so every week even if painful. It causes you to flex your foot at the incline it needs to get stronger in the tendon!

Hi I am an NP student and I think both of you are great teachers and are very helpful. I will definitely make it a point in referring to physical therapy. Thank you so much

Untuck the sheets at the bottom of your bed. With the sheets tucked in, your foot will be forced down when you sleep on your back. Also, heavy blankets will do the same thing. I suffered from this pain for years. When I untucked the sheets, the pain went away in a few days. Stretching helped, but the sheets did the trick. Recently, we put heavier blankets on the bed due to the cold weather. I noticed the pain starting to return in the morning. Time for socks and thicker pajamas.

Yeah it's interesting flat shoes was my thing also. My podiatrist said high heels can also be a culprit over time. I don't wear flats, except Crocs which give a little more support and wearing heels to church I may pay the price, but wedges are ok. Your feet will definitely tell you what to wear.

[@stephenconnor6309]

Thanks for your videos. It really helped watching one of your videos on how to treat sciatic pain. For a long while I couldn't work out what was wrong with my heel. I was blaming it on a new pair of winter climbing boots, but now I know it has been Plantar Fasciitis.

[@elishalopez8073]

[@Exiide89]

Massage your calf muscles with any massage oil, all the way down to the Achilles tendon. Massage with medium to hard pressure, not gently. Feet muscles work in tendom with leg muscles. If there is stiffness in calves and Achilles tendon, it will put more stress on heels and plantar fascii.

[@valentinakniess2432]

WAIT! Now I've got BIG bone spurs on the back of my heals - to the point that all the backs of my sneakers would wear out (big holes in the foam). My doctor said I'll probably need the spurs removed, but my physical therapist says maybe not. I do tons of stretches, and that helps, but if I don't keep-up with it, my ankles and even the backs of my calves become inflamed. There have been times they felt like they were on fire! Now I found that wearing backless shoes helps TREMENDOUSLY... but it sucks for working out! And forget wearing boots in the winter!

[@kevinbossick8374]

That is what I have. Years of wearing work boots. Always wearing out the back, which then leads to chaffing pain. I would cut up old Dr Shcolls and place in back of heal. But the thing that helped the most was to stop wearing boots at work. Luckily, regular shoes are fine for what I do now. It seems the boots actually made them worse/bigger spurs.

[@valentinakniess2432]

@@kevinbossick8374 They do! Glad you're in a position where you don't need to wear the boots anymore. Unfortunately for me I'm coming to the conclusion that I'm going to have to have the surgery. There is no way now that I can wear shoes with any back and flare-ups are more frequent. I think lots of people can benefit from physical therapy for this - but my spurs have grown just too big.

[@SuperNewf1]

I had all my major tendons and ligaments severely crushed, peroneal nerve damage, diastasis (bones separated), ankle broken in at least two places, poor circulation from blood vessel damage. A lot of pain for 40 years. I have used some of your methods over time and they work. Unfortunately right on the bottom of my heel feels like a rock or jumping jack is under it every time I take a step. It gets so painful I cannot barely stand. My ankle literally feels like someone took a knife and slashed through it. The calf of my leg gets knobs of pain from the blood clots when i stand or walk. My knee gave out because of all the stretching and pulling when I try to lift my foot to walk. All of this over 40 years because I was thrown from , dragged, and crushed by a train. I have many more injuries from head to toe. Pain management is an Art, a calling, a profession, a necessity. Thank you for your easy to see and understand presentation. P.S. Hydrotherapy during after these stretching exercises greatly aids in relaxation and removal of stiffness and soreness and promotes circulation which promotes healing.

Flip flops are the among the worst footwear to ruin your feet. They cause you to club, curl, claw (diff terms used for same thing) your toes in order to keep the shoes on when walking which in turn keeps your plantar area overly arched and in a constant shortened state.

I was beginning to run after taking a long break. This was way back in around 1990. I was running on dirt trails. I either stepped in a hole or on a rock and twisted my ankle, you know how your ankle turns in and the weight of your body comes down on a foot that is rotated in. It was pretty extreme, but I could still walk. I seemed to be OK, but after about 20 minutes walking back to my car my foot was really hurting. I waited for it to heal, but it did not. I was limping for weeks and finally went to the doctor. They told me I had a bone spur. Everywhere I went and everything I did I had foot pain. I went to physical therapy and they did some kind of ultrasonic thing to my foot, and then put me on a this repetitive electronic thing that tensed my muscle. This pain went on for months, until I think around maybe 6-9 months I just decide to go out and start walking and running to see what happened. Over a medium period of time it just got better with use,but I could still feel it, even though it did not really hurt. It was a very long time, maybe years before it went completely away and I could not tell which foot had the problem. I felt lucky that I got better, and even luckier that it was my own body and just normal use that fixed it, but it was very disappointed in the medical and physical therapy that really did nothing. I still do not really know what I had or what the problem was.

First I thought: "2 evangelists", because the cloth, the jokes and the way they speak, then they in fact started to say clever things and I got very happy. :) Thank you for this video. Really helped.

[@mogheen]

I went to several different specialists for different options and they all said different things. The only one thing said in common was that I wake up stiff which isn't true. Crazy

[@karenhinson8002]

I started having this pain about 2 weeks ago. It was in both feet initially, but just as you said (now I know), it was from walking a lot in bad shoes (these were very cheap, but warm and waterproof) snow boots. The soles were terrible but I was fine walking in them. So the snow stopped and when I stopped wearing them it only was left in one heel; my left. (Until I watched YOUR video I didnt put any of this together by the way....). So after a week of it getting worse and worse I started doing research and discovered that its PF...I watched MANY videos on the subject, some long some short; some using the foot models, etc. Most recommended the same exercises...But none of them explained and answered my questions like you guys did!. Thank you for making it way more simple to understand as well, marking the most common exact spot where the heal pain is with the marker, etc. And no one said to it BEFORE you put your feet on the floor in the morning. I could go on, really, I thank you for putting out such a great video!. I really can't afford another specialist, and I am thanking God for sending you to me. It is already helping/healing (I think...) I am going to use you and check other stuff on your channel!

I found that standing on the ball of the foot to stretch it and also wearing a ball cushion strap on my foot when it started to get painful, helped heal my plantar Fasciitis.

[@timm285]

These guys have a good chemistry.

[@darrenbalch4006]

I had it really severe, stretching made it much worse, I had trouble walking, then found a website. It asks the question:. If you pull a muscle, what do you do? You do nothing, let it heal, stretching will make the micro tears worse, same with the foot! It worked! But I still have days where it gets sore from walking, so you have to see what shoe does best, I do best with flat shoe, it depends on your arch.

[@catmomjewett]

OMG 🫢 Not sure what’s wrong w/my heel (doc appt in 5days) but I just taped my heel like at the end of this vid and I’m walking without pain. I hope this reply to a 7 yo vid gets to you wonderful guys. So grateful!! 💛💛💛

[@kimberleylobb4266]

The first thing I did in the morning was to message my foot. I would rub the arch to get the blood moving first before I ever started to stretch my foot. That saved me a lot of pain and it healed faster.

Thanks for your videos. For me splinting seem to cause excruciating charley horses I quickly abandoned that tactic! I like that you recognize not everyone is the same

[@BlakeOlson1980]

I struggled with Plantar Fasciitis, and tried a bunch of the remedies, including the stretch shown here; and found that stretching the opposite way was the only thing that helped me. Meaning, instead of pulling the toe toward me, I pointed my feet away, even bending my knees and sitting on my heals to stretch it even further. I gave me instant relief, and doing it for maybe 3-5 days in the morning, and I have no pain now. literally doing the opposite of the common practice took care of it for me. Maybe that wasn't Plantar Fasciitis?

[@MsBritterfritter]

my doctor actually told me no matter what to not stretch it. It's not good to stretch the tendon if you're trying to repair the tears in it.

Plantar Fasciitis: I had surgery years ago, would that have anything to do with causing other issues such as knee pain?

[@jnelsimpson1190]

Hello Bob and Brad....I overstretched my plantar fascia and it has been irritated for about 6 month. In April, I went to walk up the stairs wearing tennis shoes, and when I stepped on the affected foot I heard a pop and tremendous pain --I had tore the plantar fascia at the medial attachment. My podiatrist said this was a natural release, and there was nothing to do about it. My doc did do recontruction surgery on my lateral foot, as I had a tendon shredded and sheath torn in two. That has healed up fine. Today at the surgeon for a 3 mos checkup I showed him the plantar fascia, how there is still swelling, and how it at times feels so tight like it could tear in the heel, and that it's swollen in the center of the bottom of my foot. He has diagnosed that as Plantar fascial fibromatosis. He put a steroid shot in there, and said to take it easy until I got to PT this week and has prescribed another 6 weeks of PT with 1A stim and Graston/ART . Are there any exercises besides these I should be doing?

[@paprikaheaven5543]

What if the pain is at the back of the heels? Sharp pain right at the insert of AT .with the spur.just like your boot picture showing....

[@thetayterminator1436]

Thats ☝🏻 exactly where im having pain! 👣 And I feel that sharp pain Everytime I bend over like if I'm trying to pick something up off the floor. What about you? Does that sound familiar? Its in the back of my left heel, its a small spot about the size of a half dollar coin mayber and its like you said on the back of the heel like where a Boot spur would be, and if you were looking straight at the back of my left heel the pain is on the center-right side, so the side facing my other foot. And I cant find nothing when I search Google because if you type heel pain every single result brings up this Plantar Fasciitis. I did see something on Livestrong.com mentioning heel pain when bending over due to Achilles Tendinitis but it didn't specify where in the heel so im still back to square 1… at least im pretty sure what it is not! 😕 Lol

[@janetbrowning9089]

OK...that's exactly where my pain was too and I actually had a growth, that just kept getting larger and larger on my heel bone...it protruded and was affecting the tendon on the back of my leg and heel...so what then? I did so much stretching it wasn't funny, trying to get it to stop hurting...what a joke...it was ruining my tendon!! So, are you going to just ignore that? I couldn't walk in the morning, at all...maybe "duck walk"...it took a good hour or more to walk it out and then it still hurt...the back of my heel...One more thing...I may well have had that little hook bone on the bottom of my foot, but my doctor was not concerned with that...he was concerned with the spur that the tendon was riding over every time I took a step!! So, say what you will about spurs being people's imagination and that they aren't causing our pain...but, I have been there, done that and until you have one and have to go through that every day, you have no idea what you are talking about!! I went for 5 years trying everything....

I have 7 mm bone spurs in both feet. I did shockwave therapy for the left foot when it was at 5 mm, however, it has obviously grown. I roll my feet out with a bottle or canister if I want to walk anywhere at all, even to the kitchen. My dog is suffering (lack of long walks) and my spouse (lack of desire to do/go anywhere). I have cortisone cream prescribed by a GP; I am swimming daily as it is the only form of exercise I can do. The pain is giving me a cranky attitude which I am trying not to show or project to the people around me.

Currently in unbelievable pain on my heel. I have to work on my feet and walk quite fast and nearly collapse from the pain when I get home. I even bought new shoes with extra cushion. I bought inserts after I found the shoes weren’t enough. I also bought a wrap for my heel and ankle. I don’t want to go to the doctor if it’s nothing but soreness but it’s been weeks now. It even hurts when I’m asleep. I have to dangle my leg off the side of my bed from the pain. Edit: I’m back, I’m still in so much pain , help, I’m dying (not really)

[@Carolmaizy]

Go to an orthopedic doctor. I had that type of pain once. I have very high arches. I have chronic plantar fasciitis. They sent me for physical therapy, where I learned a few simple stretches. If I do them once a day I feel just fine. No surgery needed. I tried orthotics to support my arches, but they hurt so I don't ever use them anymore, and don't need them. Just the daily stretches, which take 10 minutes. I also wear "flats" that have a low heel, or sneakers, vs going barefoot or wearing flip flops or totally flat sandals when outside. If I do the stretches I can even go barefoot at home. Consistently stretching is the key.

[@patriciabishop7161]

I had Heel Spur surgery and upon opening up, the Dr. found that the plantar fasctia was wrapped around the spur.
