[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Check out http://www.heelthatpain.com  I got heel cushions for my shoes that have worked wonders, plus a little boot that I wear to sleep.  I've also made an effort to stretch (rolling my foot over a tennis ball is the best one for me), and I always wear shoes, even inside our home, which I didn't use to do.  Crocs work well for that.

I've also started running in very cushy shoes and save the light ones for racing.

My heel pain flared up mid-November, and I treated it very aggressively.  It still aches at times, but I can still run and walk as usual.  I think they can take a long time to get better if you don't treat them.  [/quote]

OP: Just wanted to thank you for the heel cushion suggestion.  They just arrived and it's the first time I can kind of walk in 10 days.  Hoping they relieve the pressure enough that my foot can heel quickly.

One other tip to share: My heel has hurt alot when I drive (it all started after a long drive).  I read somewhere to raise the seat of the car as much as possible to relieve the pressure on your heel while you drive.  Has helped alot!

So glad to hear the heel cushions are helping!  I'm finding that I need to be diligent about wearing them every time I leave the house.  I wear Crocs indoors and those are supportive enough.  I've taken a few walks without the cushions and feel the pain creeping back.

And good to know about the driving!  Who'd have thought?

Hope you're all better soon![/quote]
