Heel Spur

To top it all off, I've developed a heel spur on the bottom of my heel on my left foot. Has been making me hobble around a bit like some old cripple. More annoying than anything. So - no more wearing of thongs but proper shoes for a while!

The funny thing is - my dad used to have the same thing at one stage!

I've no idea what can be done about it at this stage. Just have to wait and see what 'they' decide.

Maybe this might be a good look for me for a little while? lol

  1. I think heel spur is actually quite common but doesn't always affect everyone. It's very painful, I'm not sure if this was the what embee had a few years ago must ask him wen he gets home. Hope they can do something for you (hugs)

  2. Poor Mal- pain is not very good for making you less depressed! I can sympathise too- I have sore "crunchy" feet- tendinitis with calcified bits all through my feet that feel like millions of splinters, plus both feet chocka with extra bones! I just use Voltaren gel and tablets if they get really bad. Try to ignore them the rest of the time. The physio prescribed high heeled shoes!! I hate them- always wear nearly flat. I have no idea what they can do about your spur- try to avoid operations on your feet as they will always have to hold you up.

  3. I thought i was looking at my xray but I have 2 heel spurs.

    one right where that picture shows one and another on the same foot but on the back of the heel.

    The right shoes help alot!!! mind you I walk all day at work! Once in awhile it gets so painful that I beg for the shot(I believe it's cortizone) in the heel just to make the pain go away.

  4. My mum had those at one point. I don't think she did much for them

  5. Ouch! Nothing worse than sore feet. Don't go the high heels though mate, people might talk. ;)
