Is the Doctor In?

When you first get out of bed, if your feet and legs feel as though they are asleep or a little numb and it goes away after a few minutes, more than likely it is heel spurs. See your dr. and let him give you the news.

I would go see an orthopedic doctor that has a sports background. Unfortunately a podiatrist might know issues with feet, but they might not understand a sports background or have the mentality of an athlete in mind. In other words, they may not realize what you are trying to get back doing like someone that has an orthopedic, sports medicine background. And if it is something like plantar fasciitis, the sports doctor will know what you need to do to perform, rather than to just make it OK for you to walk.

I am speaking from some experience as I tore a hamstring several years ago and one doctor took and claimed I would not be able to work games for over a month and possibility longer and the orthopedic doctor told me what I needed to do to get ready for two different sports and put me on some rehabilitation that speed up the time I got back. I would go to the doctor before spending money on over the counter remedies that may make the situation worse or not treat the actual problem.
