Whats is a heel spur?
Answers: To be properly diagnosed ,go see a physician.
I thought I had one,but is was diagnosed by my physician as "plantar fasciitis"..which contained by layman's terms is inflammation in the heel or arch of the foot.
It is caused by exercising too much ,too tough,and too fast..which is what I did,I worked out way too much one day running and playing basketball. My heel have been killing me for about 2 months presently.
The doctor told me that with proper exercising and stretching ,the problem will work itself out.
It is treated by ice baths on the foot,and by placing ice on the heel.
Ibuprofen help with anti inflammatory problems,it is worse in the mornings.
Sometimes surgery is recommended as a last resort if stomach-ache does not desist.
Self diagnosis is not the way to go. I thought I had a broken bone contained by my foot it hurt so bad,and still does. Some days are better than others,and it is worse in the morning before foot is stretched out beside activity.
Good luck with it.
A heel spur is merely a layman's term for a shattered heel "panama."
A "spur" (broken cap) is created by the repetitive force that we create on our heel when we walk.
The ankle (and foot) is one of the body's extensions that endures the most force over a lifetime. (Scientific measurements record over 4-6 times the body's solidity to be forced on the foot / ankle (heel) with each step!)
Consider the eventual toll this makes on the foot (heel.)
BUT.. this is the one extension i.e. supported by the most muscle mass.
Step lightly!
It's those things in the cowboy movies that they wear on their boots. It goes on the heel and it's get spikes all around it. They use it to kick the horses when they're riding them so they go faster. I suppose it's either a bony outgrowth that gets into the soft part of the foot or plantar fascitis, which is an inflammation of the fascia (the stuff that covers the muscles.)
It hurts, but next to proper rest and padding in your shoes, you can get some nouns. I don't know if they go away or not...I guess it would depend on what caused it.
On the back of cowboy boots..those sharp circular things. Called Plantair Fascitis. It is your body lay down calcium deposits between your heel(bone) and Achilles tendon generally caused by desperate fitting shoes or bad walking posture, pronation etc.
I got rid of mine this way. I read an article surrounded by Readers Digest.
It said to measure your foot at its widest point by standing on a ruler. then NEVER...NEVER buy a shoe that is narrower than that width. Worked for me saved me from surgery.
