I've had this for 1.5 years now. It appeared the morning after I ran the first leg of a 4x100.
I've been trying to work around it, but it's becoming more difficult. My eccentric strengthening exercises were working up until I got metatarsalgia. Soft heeled shoes work well, but many soft heeled shoes have soles that are too soft, causing me to get bad shin splints.
I'm considering surgery. I don't want the achilles to be attached/reattached if it doesn't have to be.
Anyone know anyone?
Hi
I've had Haglund's on my right heel (very large bump) for years without thinking much but the last year I realised what it was as it had become painful - probably roller skating caused it to become inflamed. I've been treating it for over a month now with nightly caster oil patches and the bump is now the smallest it has been in years. I foresee another month or two of patches before it disappears. (Sixth months in total probably to be on the safe side). My mum and aunt have both successfully removed bone spurs using this method and it also seems to be working on the haglund's.
Initially the pain got worse for the first few weeks - guess it's bound to as it dissolves but my heel is starting to feel like a normal heel again - it's great. Worth the effort of the extra work every evening. :)
