Sorry to hear that.
On the plus side, you have a specific diagnosis so you know what you are dealing with. Take your time, heal your heel properly and you'll be good to go.

Thanks for the support, knowing what I am up against is nearly half the battle.
hi, I've been having trouble with what I thought was RCB for some years, but was able to manage it with stretches and eccentric calf raises. Now it's been over a month since I could walk normally never mind run a step..
so you inspire me to actually go see a doctor and make sure it's not a stress fracture. thank you ;-)
I used to run, and now swim, but I'm trying to start running again for some cross training. I got this problem 14 years ago, and was misdiagnosed as Achilles tendonitis. An Orthopedist doctor told me nothing would ever do any good, and for 14 years I was convinced she was right! However, there is now a wonderful exercise program which was developed for Achilles tendonitis, which works wonderfully for retrocalcaneal bursitis also. Here's the link. http://www.carletonsportsmed.com/chronic_achilles_tendinitis.htm I came upon this completely by accident. After 14 years of pain and stiffness, this has worked like MAGIC. However, running still causes some temporary pain and swelling, starting about 4 hours after the run and lasting about 12 hours. But I never did the full 12 week program using the shoulder weights, so I'm trying that now. I'm quite convinced this program will help others too. It's called "eccentric exercises" and it's difficult to explain, take a good look at the diagrams.
two years, off-and-on... stretching is a definite. For me, wearing a shoe w/ little or no heel counter (like the Puma Faas 250), and sizing up 1/2 size really helped - I'd been wearing my shoes way too tight for years. Stretching, looser shoes, and aspirin cured mine after two years.
