Is Painful Heel A Result Of Excessive Walking?
Two weeks ago, I Venice, I was walking fast to keep up with colleagues in flat, non supportive shoes for 2 miles. The heel of my left foot was very tender. As a flight attendant I walk quite a bit for work. It continues to to sustain the same pain when walked on. I have iced it, soaked it in Epsom salts with vinegar and used a TENS unit on it after long shifts. Is this normal? YYYY@YYYY

Hello,
It may be due to calcaneum spur.
For that I would suggest you to do X Ray after orthopedician consultation.
Further treatment mainly depends upon the underlying condition.
For pain you can take tablet acetaminophen.
Use silicone foot support.
Hope I have answered your query..
Let me know if I can assist you further.
