Heel spurs

I had a heal spur, it was painful and was dealt with in an equally painful manner back in the 80's but I know what the OP describes sounds like is plantar fasciitis, which I now have thanks to my medical problems with my legs. The doc said it will take time to go away and I have four different shoes to wear during the week. It is really painful after sitting a while. SO I would go to a doc and have them look at it.

 

Make sure its not gout.. depending on your diet etc this is also a possibility.. Gout sucks! I had a slight case of it a decade or so ago.. had to really watch the diet!

 

Medical technology and procedures have changed quite a lot since 20 years ago. What I would consider butchery etc then growing up would be routine today. I have had some surgeries that did not exist in grandparents time. Things have changed quite a bit. For the better in many ways.

Don't waste time on something this small before it gets to something really big. See the doc. Don't be like me sit there and deny the pain or problem. You only make it worse than it has to be.

 

Look at the bright side.

You didn't have to go to Vietnam (involuntarily) and you became POTUS.

"Spur" yourself to higher goals.

 

And then you can bad mouth someone who volunteered and is now dead.....

 

I healed my plantar fasciitis fasciatis by massaging my calf muscle

 

This is not on any exercise programs. I have found that some trucks enough room that you can do heel - calf muscle stretches while driving. Just put your toes back toward the middle of the seat on the floor. I did that one at a time. Then push your heal down to stretch for the count of ten. Stretch every time you get out of a vehicle. Stop and take a walk about some times.
I asked a heavy equipment operator about the cushion pad in his new machine. It already had a really nice looking chair. He said " You have to keep your butt above your knees. If you don't your blood won't flow correctly for long periods of time.
Their are pills for everything. No scripts other than very short term.
