Try to wear flip flops as much as possible, they strengthen the fascia as your foot picks up the shoe to walk. I use Reef shoes as they have arch support. 3. For temporary pain relief use Blue Emu Oil. It will stop the pain but not correct the problem. 4. Also, all your shoes should have good arch support. 5. Stretch, stretch, stretch. The problem is the result of poor flexibility deep in your calf muscles. Hope that helps and you consider doing the Waseca triathlon this year!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29677084.post-55094211751388604152012-06-20T04:17:38.248-05:002012-06-20T04:17:38.248-05:00Dr. Q, I THINK it's some sort of bursitis.

And I'm currently wearing (daily wear and running in) some slight heel lifts.Steve Stenzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11419298404210612118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29677084.post-91197988151283538292012-06-20T00:32:22.030-05:002012-06-20T00:32:22.030-05:00i would say go get an xray...don't want to be ...i would say go get an xray...don't want to be delay a good diagnosis so you can really know what's up and start treating it right instead of using your best guess. worse case scenario...you have a calcaneal stress fracture and a night splint wound do anything for that. if it's not and just cranky old plantar fasciitis, wear cowboy boots or something w/ a heel and try contrast baths (alternating warm and cold foot soaks for 10minutes/each three times daily)<br />Anyways... get in and get it looked at so you can salvage the rest of your season! number one reason athletes get injured is that they are currently training thru an injury.Nateatrigeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01002803493407124018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29677084.post-34563644769751968402012-06-19T21:53:20.611-05:002012-06-19T21:53:20.611-05:00Depends on what is the cause of "heel pain&qu...Depends on what is the cause of "heel pain" - do you have a diagnosis - achilles tendinopathy, plantar fasciitis, retrocalcaneal bursitis, Haglund syndrome, painful heel pad syndrome? Barefoot/minimal footwear running or wearing Newtons probably will fix it - but not in season as it takes a deal of a slow transition.Dr. Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17767763894378348750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29677084.post-22990794109531571152012-06-19T21:09:15.288-05:002012-06-19T21:09:15.288-05:00Oooh... thanks Skiracer!
