hey guys,

i've got this pain in my heel after running last night. to be fair i've had a slight pain for the last 8 weeks but nothing to worry about. anyway, whilst doing a pace run in flats last night it flared up and i'm struggling to walk today.

the pain is far enough back for it not to be plantar faciitis. more likely a bruised heel, hopefully not developing to a heel spur. Anyway, just wanted to know if anyone else has had a similar problem and what self help treatment i could try over the next few days.

thanks,

anderson

It might be achilles tendonitis

I wouldn't be so quick to say it is not plantar faciitis, or atleast caused by a tight plantar. How far back is the pain exactly? A tight plantar can cause heel pain directly under the heel. Since you did a pace run in flats, maybe you were up on your toes more then usual and that led to the increased pain. I would say stretch you calves real well for now. But i think your explanation is too vague to have any idea as to what is causing the pain.

re: plantar

yeah i'm essentially completely guessing. you're right it could be a number of things. to try and be more precise the pain is in the middle of the heel but towards the front of the calcaneus bone. so yeah it could be coming from the plantar. who knows. i'm gonna ice it for a few days but any other advice would be great.

can it be stretched out other than the calf? just that the calf feels real loose.

I had what I thought was a bruised heel at one time and it got progressively worse, taking longer and longer on my run for the pain to reside, it ended up being a popped bursa sac in my heel, had to get a cortizone shot in my heel and staying off it for a while. I remember the work out I hurt the heel on tho, I was doing repeat miles on a dirt gravel road and on the last mile right after the half I stepped on a sharp gravelrock that I felt in my heel, it hurt like hell but never thought it would be something that would set me back??

re: Anderson

PLANTER FACITIS AND HEEL SPURS ARE THE SAME THING, ONLY THE HEEL SPUR IS WHAT COMES FROM NOT TAKING CARE OF PLANTER FACITIS.

ICE, REST,STRECH AND SUPPORT THE ARCH

TAKE CARE OF THIS NOW BEFORE IT BECOMES CRONIC
