Thankyou. I have had a leg ulcer for 9 months, now almost healed, but during this time, I have been getting a tender, sore pain in the flat of my heel of the same leg. Someone said its because I can only wear a flat shoe and not a shoe with a bit of a heel. Would it help to try and get back to wearing a heeled shoe? I am wearing compression hosiery which I hate, but once the ulcer is completely healed, perhaps I needn t wear them as much. Some days I can hardly walk about much. I am 70 and a little overweight due to the ulcer and enforced rest - ug.
