Anyone ever develop a heel spur? Pain caused by a problem with the Plantar fascia ligament that runs along the bottom of the foot and anchors at the heel. I have been having that pain for about six weeks and went to the doctor yesterday.
He just demonstrated two foot stretching exercises to do several times a day. They also gave me a soft boot to wear at night. The pain is always most acute when I first wake up in the morning.
I wore the boot last night and had a restless night getting use to it however this morning when I took it off and stood up the pain was substantially diminished. Even now the pain is not as bad.
Looks like a two or three month stretch to totally cure the problem but I can now get by OK without a noticeable limp.
