jay1983 Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 Yesterday I got up to walk and noticed I had a pain in my foot right on the inner side of the heel. It's a swelling kind of pain as if I stepped on something. The strang part is, I don't remember stepping on anything at all. Last night I took some aleve and some generic Tylenol, then drank a couple of beers as I watched TV. At night the pain got so bad that I couldn't sleep, it was just throbbing without walking or putting any pressure on it and I had no pain killers. I ended up filling the tub with hot water and let it sit for a few minutes which did help. Anybody experience or have any idea what it is?
Satu Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 Sounds like Plantar Fasciitis. Disclaimer: It might not be, because I'm just a random person on the Internet 2
Author jay1983 Posted February 29, 2016 Author Posted February 29, 2016 That sounds about right. I guess I did or took something which further inflated it 1

Take it out when its frozen and roll it under your foot. Works wonders. 2
Mr. Lucky Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 Definitely plantar f. Put a bottled water in the freezer. Take it out when its frozen and roll it under your foot. Works wonders. Indeed true. There are also inserts you can buy for your shoes that dissipate the strike force of your foot contacting the ground. I like Powerstep full length ProTechs, you can get them on Amazon... Mr. Lucky
SJS Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 I developed a similar pain and also thought PF but the doctor said it was Achilles tendonitis. I believe the treatment for both is very similar, as far as stretches, pain meds, etc. 1
MidwestUSA Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 I developed a similar pain and also thought PF but the doctor said it was Achilles tendonitis. I believe the treatment for both is very similar, as far as stretches, pain meds, etc. I agree, it doesn't sound like it's all thru the arch like PF. Jay, is it any better? Do you see any feline fang marks in your heel?
dichotomy Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 Foot doctor can xray and examine. Likely Plantars - but heck could be a bone spur. Ice, massage, cushy inserts or cushy shoes.. and time.
