A heel spur is often related to plantar fasciitis - inflammation of a thick tissue that connects the heel bone to the ball of the foot. Symptoms are a continuous painful aching, and when you walk on the foot the pain can be tremendous enough to immobilise you. You can elevate the foot, apply light heat, and use a shoe insert to elevate the heel, taking the pressure off. Anti-inflammatory drugs will help, such as Advil. If none of these help, then surgery is a final option. A heel spur tends to make people think of bone, but it can actually be bone or tissue that forms after some type of trauma.
