I think I've been misdiagnosed. Thanks so much for this video.

[@cindyjohnson5765]

Thank you. I have had heel pain for several weeks now. It’s been said I have plantar fasciitis. However my area of pain is not typical for planter fasciitis. My pain is felt on the bottom of the heel but more towards the very back edge of the bottom of the heel. Not the inner area of the heel where the fasciitia attaches to the heel. My pain is constant, not just upon waking up or after relaxing. It’s worse at those times,, but the pain never goes away as long as there is weight on it. Only time I have relief from pain is while sitting or laying down. I’ve have spent hundreds of dollars on shoes, insoles inserts, physical therapy exercise equipment, injections and multiple doctor appointment s and haven’t had any luck. I’m seeking a doctor who will think outside the box of plantar fasciitis, because I don’t believe that that is what I have. But it seems to be the first thing all people and doctors have told me so far. And beyond that I get a lot of shoulder shrugging as if there isn’t any other options to consider. This video is the first one that has helped me to know that there could possibly be an issue that isn’t plantar fasciitis. I wish you were in the Seattle area.

I have been having the edge of the heel pain for year and a half now so painful I would have never known it could be caused from my lowery chronic back pain doctors keep misdiagnosed and maybe plantars fasciitis as well and I know that’s not what this is how do I treat it it. I been put in medical boots for eight months orthotics three months before that now the doctor wants to do surgery and I feel like they don’t know what they’re talking about . I found wearing block type heals help take pain off heels but we need to fix this very painful heel situation, please help

[@sharonh5399]

I have pain on both heels with pressure applied. It is below the arch area and close to the rim but only in one spot. Not all the way around the rim. Both sides are close to the inside. My skin looked dry all around the rim, so I started using creams and a foot rasp. My skin now looks normal during the morning, but swells and turns shinny and red in the evening. I use urea cream at night. While bathing, the painful area turns white and looks and feels rough. Once dry, it looks normal again. I have already had x-rays and an MRI and nothing. It is sometimes painful to the touch at night as well. I have not been able to go barefoot in my kitchen for over a year because it hurts so much. I wear comfy flip flops with a soft bottom. I use a custom orthotic in my tennis shoes outside. I just had a cortisone injection and that did nothing. I'm lost as what the problem is.

[@drblakeshealingsole]

Sharon, may be nerve related, since the MRI was negative. I would consider seeing a neurologist specializing in peripheral nerves. You can begin treatment with 3 times a day topical salves like Neuro Eze or Neuro One, Lidoderm patches while you sleep, Vit C 500 mg a.day if you are not getting, etc. So many treatments. Perhaps you can get more info from my blog at www.drblakeshealingsole.com

There are several factors in curing for plantar foot. One plan I discovered that succeeds in merging these is the Fergs Foot Formula (google it if you're interested) without a doubt the most useful remedy i've seen.Check out the interesting information .

[@themulti-coloredcanary5795]

My entire heel hurts. The doctor told me I have plantar fasciitis and I need to just stretch it as much as possible. So that's what I've been doing and it's not getting any better.

[@drblakeshealingsole]

It may have started as plantar fasciitis, but you must have incredible inflammation or nerve pain. Does it look swollen? Does it hurt to walk on your heels alone? If you can get an MRI, calcaneal stress fracture is my number one bet. How did it happen? Was the initial symptoms gradual or very sudden? All good questions to answer? If it is plantar fasciitis, the answers would be not swollen, not hurt to walk on heels alone, gradual onset. Rich

[@themulti-coloredcanary5795]

@@drblakeshealingsole thank you so much for your response! It does look swollen, it feels swollen, mainly on the inside edge of the heel. I couldn't even begin to walk on my heel alone. It was a sudden onset when I started taking a new dance class. I started the class in January and the pain started in May. I thought plantar fasciitis because the floors were hard and I was barefoot. That's the only thing that I've done differently. Based off of what you have said, I'll be going back to the doctor ASAP! I knew it was more than plantar fasciitis! It's probably the most painful thing I have ever experienced. I did get an x-ray and I do have a bone spur. But the part of my foot that hurts the most is not where the bone spur is. The bone spur is more towards the middle of my heel, whereas the most painful part is the medial edge. Thank you so much for your time! Edit: something else I forgot to mention that I think is very relevant is the fact that I put on a lot of weight very quickly. I think it was just a perfect storm of all of these different factors colliding to make my life miserable lol. I have begun losing weight, and I have implemented a regular workout/stretch routine.

[@LILIREYESMX]

Exactly when you are pressing the heel in 2:30 mins it’s my pain and it’s swollen

I got heel pain cause of jumping in high ground then its hard to walk and if I'm not walking it's still hurts it's 2 weeks now

[@Tempsnomades]

Thanks a lot for these explanation. I do have the pain you mention in the end, all around the heel, that you associate with back pain. But I got it from overusing my heel avoiding walking on the ball of my foot because I have metatarsalgia. Do you think it can be something else than something associated with back pain ?? It is in a different location each time but always around the heel, back or on the left or right side, never below. It doesn't match any normal common heel injury. Thanks a lot for your help !!!!!!! I'm so desperate to walk normally one day.

Hi... Dr. Blake , I work in hospital. When i walk on floor or standing I have less pain on my heels but after I sit down ,I start feeling burning on my heels. When I wear shoes on my walking ,my feet feel ok but when I sit down feels like my shoes choke or feel tight on my feet. So I wonder why I feel burning on my feet after walk when I siting down.thank you

[@drblakeshealingsole]

Yvonne, there are 3 possibilities. First of all, it is typical plantar fasciitis with its symptoms after prolonged inactivity. The second possibility is low back compression of typically L4/L5 nerve root. You should feel better if you lay down and get up then sit and get up, or at least different. Thirdly, you it can be venous, where the veins are not working as well as possible. Again, sitting can be the worse, laying second, and walking around getting the circulation to move best. Check these scenarios out. Rich

[@melianapan]

@@drblakeshealingsole : I have a lot of things going on in my body ,I have piriformis nerve, sometimes my shoulder,my neck feel heavy or stiff through my jaw and I get migraines. Sometimes I have lower back pain. Do you think my heels feel hurt and burning because of my lower back pain like you mentioned? I had 2 injections on my heels but didn’t help. I had X-ray and mri. The first X-ray did not show any on my heels but on mri show that I have moderate medial plantar fasciitis. Sometimes when press on my heel ,I feel the nerve . I tried different kind of shoes and orthotic insoles but didn’t work. The orthotic insoles ,I tried from firm to soft ,they make my arch sores but help less pain on my heels.So ,I don’t know what to do. If it already long hour shift at hospital I feel pain on my ankle When I less walking ,less burning when I sit down,when I more walking more burning when sitting down . I don’t understand why when I wear shoes feel more pressure when I sitting down,but when I walk ,less pressure.

[@drblakeshealingsole]

@@melianapan Definitely could be. If it is, then treatment of the low back with abdominal work, etc. But, someone has to make that connection first. Rich

[@oladunjoyealumhydro2991]

There are a few suggestions to try Try a natural remedies for plantar foot. Something as simple as ginger root, which can be found at your local grocery shop, is a great anti-inflammatory. Ginger root is in the class of plants known as Cox inhibitors. This means they help inflammation naturally. Another good remedy for pain is Bromelain. Bromelain is an enzyme got from pineapples. just drink the raw juice or eat raw pineapple, you can gt advantage from the properties of Bromelain. Enzymes are one of the top remedies for pain because they are all natural and are what your body uses to cure inflammation (I learned these and more tips from fergs foot formula site )

[@stroggsy85]

When compressing the heel I have pain on the medial side of the the calcaneus. Could this be a fracture?

Yes, of course, but also you could just be pressing on a nerve. Stress fractures are normally slightly swollen and some difficulty walking based on the severity. When in doubt, get it checked out. Rich

So further down foot than where you pressed, but that spot you pushed is included. I think I also have plantar heel bursitis going by your video. Will need to discuss that in the next visit!

Another option for self-treatment is to look up trigger points in the abductor hallucis and the quadratus plantae muscles. Learn how to self trigger point these muscles, as one or both of these muscles, if irritated, can lead to compression of the Baxter's nerve. Their trigger point referral is also around the heel and can be the cause of pain!

My heel is swollon and painful when i walk....how do i fix this....

[@drblakeshealingsole]

Typically you have to put yourself into Phase 1 of Rehabilitation which is immobilization and anti-inflammatory. Get a Anklizer removable boot and see if that helps. Start icing for 10 minutes the sore area 3 times a day. That should start the process. Check in with a local podiatrist. Rich
