For the last week and a half I have been trying to alleviate the heel pain I have. I have tried stretches, ice, wearing a splint at night, taking it easy with walking, and no running. The pain is much better when waking, at first I couldn't put my foot flat on the ground for the first 10 minutes of the day without extreme pain. Now only the first couple steps hurt. I have noticed that my calf muscle is sore and cramping a lot more than normal. With my ruptured disc I always have calf pain but this is more often than normal. Since I am on my feet standing on the hard floor at work all day I also bought some new arch support inserts for my shoes. I am trying to keep from going to the dr. but if this lasts much longer or gets worse I think I will have to bite the bullet and go. I will be off work for the next 3 days so I am hoping that will give my foot some time to heal.
