... or Plantar calcaneal bursitis. Bloody painful. Anyone out there suffered from it and could advise on some relief?
I have it right now, its the second time I have had sadly. Here are the things that help me...
Roll a golf ball on it 3 times a day - both feet not just the affected one
Get a splint to wear at night to keep the foot stretched - aids healing
Get some shoe inserts (good ones) to support the instep
Get a Plantar support to wear all day
Rest as much as possible
Calf stretches 3 times a day
Rest as much as you can - don't go on long walks or play intense sport
Good luck, it will take at least 6 months minimum for it to get better.
NSC never ceases to amaze me.
I've had this in my left heel for a couple of weeks now and its really affecting me. :-(
Looking into it I'm not sure whether I've got Plantar calcaneal bursitis or Plantar Fasciitis. I've read somewhere that bursitis tends to be worse at the end of the day whereas plantar fascia pain tends to be worse in the morning, immediately upon waking. My exoerience is that I certainly struggle first thing but it gets far worse again later if I'm on my feet too much.
I've had a bit of a go with the tennis ball tip in the kitchen but my poor ball skills mean I'm constantly up and chasing it round the room.
Perhaps I should go to to the doctor. All I know is that it is bloody painful and is stopping me exercising (which I didn't do enough in the first place!) or even walking the dog as far as I'd like to.
Yes,very painful. It took several months to disappear. I used a frozen bottle of water to roll my foot whilst watching television. I am not sure if it helped or not. The condition is inflammation of the tendon under the foot. Good luck.
Pain on the instep is more likely Planter Fasciitis.
Haha, you are kidding? I'd still go and get some professional advice if I was youWell this is a coincidence I'm going to the doctors this afternoon for the very same pain in my left heal thanks to the North Stand Chat doctors surgery I think I cancelled the appointment as know what it is now
I hope I can get rid of the injury before next September as I said I'm supposed to be doing the 3 Peak challengeHaha, you are kidding? I'd still go and get some professional advice if I was you
Good luck with both nate but do go and have a word with your GP stillI hope I can get rid of the injury before next September as I said I'm supposed to be doing the 3 Peak challenge
