I’ve had heel spurs (both feet!) for years. Mine had never really bothered me until 2002. When the pain started, it was horrible! I couldn’t walk or stand without crying. When I would sit to get some relief, the pain was even more intense.

Finally I went to the doc, and after tests, x-rays, etc., I had orthopedic inserts for my shoes, night splints, and therapy. Nothing helped. Finally I had injections in both my heels. Finally I had some relief. At least of my left foot pain. The right continued getting worse until finally my doc sent me to a foot and ankle specialist.

After more testing and more testing and more testing, it was found that there was a tumor in my right heel. I had the option of surgery to remove it or allowing it to continue to grow. I went with the surgery, of course. A year and a half later I had more surgery on the same foot. Little by little my right foot is getting better.

My left foot; however, hasn’t had pain from the heel spur since the injection. Again…don’t wait!
