thankyou

[@GeneMoretti]

Excellent information doctor. I'm currently experiencing this kind of pain but only occasionally. Thanks for the solutions.

[@cindyrobertson3780]

I only get this pain if I don't do my heel exercises daily at 7pm

[@jayemnazareta3786]

Thanks. This video is quite informative. I am now sure im having retro calcaneal bursitis due to the pain location. Mine has not gone away for weeks now. Maybe because i play basketball regularly but im kinda on the heavy side right now

[@ImThatGuy02]

The fact that you can play basketball with it is crazy. I play football and I haven't been able to play since the day it started.

[@BrianSmith-be4bc]

Thank you. Great video. Both feet have this

[@cindyrobertson3780]

Same but it is from not exercising my heels

[@vijaydas9747]

[@cindyrobertson3780]

I suffer from this too. It is only when I don't do my heel exercises daily

[@AlexFlores-ih6cl]

Thanks Doc. I wasn't quite sure what the pain was but this describes the area to a T.

[@minapolo2000]

Thank you

[@sandrataylor2323]

I am experiencing everything you explained with the exception that I cannot put pressure on my heel at all without extreme pain, which sometimes radiates up the back of my leg. I am walking with crutches to keep from using my foot. I have not had any trauma. I just woke up one morning and it was hurting.

[@ashrawichaman1221]

How are you feeling now?? Did it get any better?

[@ImThatGuy02]

I feel the exact same thing now.. I am a FedEx delivery driver, and doing my job every day is such a pain, almost to the point where I've started looking for another job.

[@cindyrobertson3780]

I can't even walk without limping badly on my left heel. I will do my heel exercises daily starting Monday at 7pm.

[@Foxiesz]

@@ImThatGuy02 I'm also a delivery driver although not for fedex and just got diagnosed with this through ultrasound. Seems like it could be a common thing for this kinda job I'd think since walking slower isnt an option usually

[@fabiozapletal_FZ4U]

Very little is mentioned re the enthisitis of calcaneus.

[@mbalfour]

My success varies with 3 strategies:- 1. 2 x Voltaren Rapid 25 (quick relief, lasts a day or two if not exercising) 2. Acupuncture with electricity, then apply Zheng Gu Shui ointment afterwards. (4 - 5 visits works well until you exercise) 3. Shockwave therapy (4 - 5 visits, painful but effective with exercise management) Ultimately, I have flare ups with exercise, and great success if not exercising! The time between flare-ups is shortest at point 1, then 2 and longest with point 3 above. I've had it for 3 years. I do not have a bone spur. My exercise includes running and soccer.

[@Samseanbobbycow]

Hi, I'd love to compare injuries. I might have a similar problem that has been causing me pain for 6 months now. If you could send me an email [e-mail] that would be amazing. Cheers.

[@truthcrusade8371]

Achilles Massage? Ice? Infrared Therapy? (which brand, frequency, length). Can you recommend 1 - 2 brands of shoe pad brands to lift the heel? Thank you!!

[@cindyrobertson3780]

KT tape, compression heel sleeves etc.

[@pocopico7409]

No stretching for Retrocalcaneal bursitis! That’s exactly the wrong thing to do and only makes it worse! Rest for a couple of months, get a good shoe with a decent heel on it, and occasional icing helps. No zero drop shoes!

[@cindyrobertson3780]

Daily heel exercises and icing it.

[@thermoplastischesaethylend1046]

Will it ever heal fully?

[@pocopico7409]

@@thermoplastischesaethylend1046: If it’s retrocalcaneal bursitis, yes, of course. But first, make sure that is, in fact, your diagnosis. There’s a big difference between retrocalcaneal bursitis and Achilles tendinopathy, and definitely a significant difference in the way they are treated.

[@thermoplastischesaethylend1046]

@@pocopico7409 Didnt expect this fast answer. I'm extremely grateful. Can you please help me. Im suffering from "mild" (the MRT saix mild) retrocalcaneal bursitis, but also mid-portion achilles tendinopathy at the same time. Its already 1 year. The achilles pain is not hard to treat, but I dont know what to do about the Bursitis. Can you please give me tips, you seem to know about that. Im only 17 years old so I dont really know why I struggle with that. The only reason I can see that why Im not healing is maybe my heel lifts are sometimes much too high and I dont have proper house shoes and the ones I use are slippers and hard to balance my feet on. Any tips? I am mentally sick of it, I just want to be able to go outside with my friends more often. Had it for 1 year almost already.

[@thermoplastischesaethylend1046]

@@pocopico7409 Have you been able to fix it? If yes please help me. I dont know what to do. I have mid portion achilles tendinopatyh and "mild" retro Bursitis but I feel it pulsating the whole day. Its feels often like vibrating and Im feeling like this is degrading my tendon... i am scared that its not fixable. Im only 17. Any tips. I wear heel lifts for months already

I have this condition since 2 years And its keep coming up Sometimes the pain is reduced But there is no cure its keep coming back Any help please?

I'm not sure there is a cure, but i've been taking a supplement to help synthesize synovial fluid and it seems to have decreased my symptoms. You can get it from the link below www.usana.com/s/Kd5Ed3

Take selenium or nuts or beets. My bursa got well.

[@andrewcpham]

Thanks doc. I get this from walking 12,000-17,000 steps a day mostly golfing. Started 3 weeks ago. If I take it easy it goes away. It’s the occasional jog or walking steep hills that gets it flared up.

[@GeorgeLista]

Sorry but I don’t think he knows anything about how to treat bursitis… totally vague generalising when it came to the most important part… no detail of treatment or techniques. Example: he mentions stretching, but any good expert knows that certain types of stretching will aggravate and worsen this condition. Please research more opinions and if you feel things not getting better, don’t stick with the same advice or therapist/doctor, keep moving and getting other opinions until you feel results happening.

[@cindyrobertson3780]

It actually helps me and my inflammation in the back of my heels. I do heel stretching exercises daily to feel better.

[@fr-uc6oi]

My doctor said stretching at the physiotherapist. But it only made things worse and I had to take anti inflammatories again.

[@GeorgeLista]

Please don’t take anti-inflammatory pills for this condition 🤦🏻‍♂️ terrible advice.
