For the last couple weeks my back of the heel really hurts. pain all around the out side. left foot. only when i stand. when I get up in the morring I can barly walk on both feet hurt. I bought heel cushins and they help. I work a card dealer so I stand on my feet all day. I am over weight. and am sure that has something to do with it. ... is there anything I can do that might also help.
Thanks

Hi, I have the same kind of pain. My orthopedic Dr. says its caused by heal spurs. They are really painful. I had to have custom braces, or inserts made to put in my shoes to "cradle my heal" so I could walk. The only way to get rid of them is to have them shaved off. My friend had this done, and she said it was very painful to get it done, and the said part about it is they can grow back.
You might be suffering from a heel spur.
Heel spur pain is often most intense after long periods of rest from being on your feet. Morning heel spur pain is often the most severe type of heel spur pain. The reason for this is: As you move during the day, the nerves surrounding the heel spur adjust around the spur so that the heel spur is not digging into them. After long periods of rest, such as when sleeping, the nerves relax back into their normal position. Thus, when you get out of bed in the morning, pain can become intense as you are putting weight on the heel for the first time causing the heel spur to be pushed into the sensitive nerves and tissues.
