   Rest- I would get heel spurs from running in the Army. Heel spurs are usually impact related in younger people. Try adding gel insoles while your wearing shoes, and rest off your feet as long as you can. For temporary pain relief, try Johnson’s foot soak, or Epsom salt soaks when your done moving around for the night.

   As far as I know they develop over time specifically in elderly people. Surgery is the only way I’ve heard of.
