The development of a heel spur is a result of the plantar fascia’s strain on the heel bone. In most situations, a heel spur is not the source of heel pain, despite its dramatic appearance on an x-ray. The inflammation where the plantar fascia joins to the heel is frequently the source of pain. Heel pain can also be caused by the heel spur itself.
People in these situations get out of bed with little or no pain. The heel becomes increasingly painful as the day goes on. Walking barefoot on a hard floor or in a hard sole shoe is also quite unpleasant. An enlarged spur on the heel bone is frequently the source of pain. You don’t have to suffer just because you have a spur on the heel bone. There are powerful pain-relieving medicines available. A simple gel heel cup can sometimes be enough to completely control your heel pain. Surgery can be used to remove the spur in more resistant situations.
