Pain in my heel
Well I have been running for about 3 weeks now trying to ensure I won't have any problems when the season starts. WOuldn't ya know it, my first weekend on a court was this past weekend and I have developed pain in my heel. It feels like I have a bruise on the bottom/inside part of the heel.
Any suggestions for treatment? |
It might be...
Plantar fasciitis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I have it....actually many refs have / get it The treatment they suggested me was major stretching of the calf....that didnt settle it...I ended up with a cort shot and orthotic inserts....I'm close to being able to run again....thankfully just in time to get ready for the season. |

I was able to avoid the cort shot, but the doc fitted me for custom orthotics, gave me two simple stretches, and a sleeping splint. Splint was a huge help in decreasing the excruciating morning pain you feel when you first get out of bed. Umpired in pain through most of the summer (pain nowhere near as bad working hoops), by end of mid-August was finally running pain free. Begged off of all fall ball assignments to give it a good rest before the start of basketball. If it flares up again this season, next step will be the cort shot. |

Chances are plantar fasciitis is setting in. There have been several threads about it over the years. Just use the search engine. I've explained how to tape your foot in a couple of those. You probably need arch support. Nice cushy insoles won't do the trick. I highly recommend these if you can't get custom orthotics. Spenco ThinSole 3/4 Length Orthotics : Insoles : Footsmart.com |
