It isn't unusual to have arthritis develope when a bone has been fractured. There are anti inflammatory medications available by perscription. Advil or the generic name ibuprofen is available without a prescription. You should discuss this with a doctor. It's important that you emphasize how much it hurt you to make sure that the physician gets the big picture. good luck to you

I have finally resolved my 3 year heel pain with 1 1/2" sports tape. I put a 10" strip under my arch and wrap over the top of my foot. Don't pull on the tape, just wrap it. Use during sleep also. I have spent lots of money and the answer is tape. I haven't used it long enough to know if I will heal, but life seems normal again. I couldn't wait to tell someone, I hope this helps a lot of people with plantar faciitis and other foot pain.

I found and copy/pasted some good stuff for you:\n\n- Practice good foot hygiene to keep bacteria levels at a minimum.\n\n- Bathe your feet daily in lukewarm water, using a mild soap. Dry thoroughly.\n\n- Change your socks and shoes at least once a day.\n\n- Dust your feet frequently with a nonmedicated baby powder or foot powder. Applying antibacterial ointment also may help.\n\n- Check for fungal infections between your toes and on the bottoms of your feet. If you spot redness or dry, patchy skin, get treatment right away.\n\n- Wear thick, soft socks to help draw moisture away from the feet. Cotton and other absorbent materials are best.\n\n- Avoid wearing nylon socks or plastic shoes. Instead, wear shoes made of leather, canvas, mesh or other materials that let your feet breathe.\n\n- Don't wear the same pair of shoes two days in a row. If you frequently wear athletic shoes, alternate pairs so that the shoes can dry out. Give your shoes at least 24 hours to air out between wearings; if the odor doesn't go away, discard the shoes.\n\n- Always wear socks with closed shoes.\n\n(Those are all preventative measures.  If you still run into persistent problems, there are more aggressive treatments you can look into, like electrolysis.  For severe, persistent cases a nerve in the foot can even be cut.  For less severe cases, there are home remedies... like soaking your feet in strong, black tea for 30 minutes a day.)

A podiatrist (specialized foot doctor) could probably help you out.  There are many kinds of heel pain and the podiatrist can take x-rays of your heel to see if there's anything wrong, give medications, teach you stretching exercises, fit you for custom foot supports, etc.  One exercise for example is to support yourself against a wall, step back with the affected foot, and stretch out the achilles tendon (that tendon right above your heel).  Of course, the proper treatment will have to depend on the reason for the heel pain.

Oh yeah, ain't it a pain?\n\n1) do stretching exercises to lengthen the tendons in the back of your leg.  Sorry, I can't describe them, but a web search for heel pain will turn up illustrations.\n\n2) NSAIDs like Ibuprofen will reduce the swelling and pain\n\n3) arch supports help a lot--my Dr. recommended SPENCO brand; don't bother with Dr. Shoals\n\n4) shoes with 2" heels can be more comfortable than flats\n\n5) shoes with really squishy soles help a lot\n\n6) don't go barefoot, even around the house.  Try to walk/stand on soft flooring rather than concrete or tile\n\n7) you can get splints to wear at night that keep your tendons stretched.  Haven't tried this, but may in the future\n\n8) a friend recommended DMSO, I've been using it for 3-4 days and it seems to help.  It's a cleaning solvent that's been found to help alleviate swelling and arthritis.  Get it at a health food store.

See a podiatrist.  I had the same problem and it turned out to be inflammation on the tendon that runs the entire length of my foot.  With proper shoe support and shoe inserts, the problem has pretty much gone a way.    The arch is where you need the most support.  Good luck to you, that is very painful.

Perhaps try stretching before excersizing. I hurt my foot about 2 weeks ago doing the same thing, but then my coach told me to stretch for about 20 minutes, and it started going away. As for your situation, I'd let it heal, maybe instead of working on your leg muscles, try your arms instead. Let it rest and try putting ice on it and stretch out before you excersize!

Just like charbar I have that pain in my feet when I get up.You might want to see a chiropractor for a check up.It could be poor circulation of blood, or possibly pressure on some nerves in your back.I have some back problems myself.

I have it too and like the others here, mine seems to come and go. I know how painful it can be, but I just tend to "work through it". I'm on my feet all day. Losing weight can be of help if you are overweight. Also try wearing shoes with good support. You might also try insoles or prescription orthotics. There are also stretching exercises you can do as well as wearing a special boot at night that helps to stretch those ligaments. Another alternative is perhaps seeing a clinical massage therapist. Best wishes and happy feet!

There are several things you can try.\n\nAnti-inflammatory medications like Ibuprofen or Naproxen may be helpful, taken with food.\n\nFill an empty soda bottle with water and freeze.  With a sock on, roll your heel over the ice bottle for 10-15 minutes, 3-4 times a day.\n\nNEVER go barefoot!  NOt even to the bathroom in the middle of the night.  Always have good supportive shoes on.\n\nStretching your calf muscle may help, particularly if you have a tight achilles to begin with.  Face a wall, and place your plans on it.  With the affected leg further behind you, lean into the wall, keeping your back leg straight and the heel on the floor.  Then stretch with your knee slightly bent.\n\nIf these methods don't work, see your health care provider.  A stronger anti-inflammatory medicine may be prescribed, he or she may evaluate you for orthotics, or supports that go into your shoes.  Physical therapy may be helpful, and some people even have a cortisone injection into the heel.

I've had similar problems, not that I didn't have the money, just that I didn't want to spend the money on a doctor cutting on my foot. I had a bad one that went on for several months, soaking it and trying to fix it myself, until finally one day it hurt so bad I couldn't walk on it. I used some Peroxide to wash and clean it and then slowly started working with a small pair of scissors, the kind most women have for whatever they use them for lol, to move then end of the nail up out of the place that hurts...it took a while and it was painful at times, but as soon as I got it worked up and could break it off, it felt sooo much better. I know this isn't the safest or healthiest way, but if you keep everything clean and sterile it wouldn't hurt. I fixed mine and it's not bothered me for over 4 months now. Hope this helps a little.

Could be a touch of arthritis. Another possibility would be a tight achilles tendon. In either case, I'd recommend two exercise \n\n(1) Put a telephone book (or something similar about 2-3 inches high) on the floor. Place the toes and balls of feet on the book with your heels resting on the floor. Raise yourself up and down about 10 times. This exercise done 2 or 3 times a day will help stretch your achilles tendon.\n\n(2) While sitting or supporting yourself while standing, do simple circles both to the left and right several times throughout the day...and especially before you are going for a walk. This will help warm up the muscles around the ankle before you walk and may help alleviate some (or all) of the pain.
