Why Do I Have Pain In Left Heel?

I am 42 5:3 150 good medical history. I have had pain in my left heal for 3 weeks now. I ice it twice a day. It hurts all the time. When I sit down I get a burning feeling. My toes also tingle. I don't have insurance so I want to know how to get this to stop hurting?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain the most common cause of pain in heel along with burning and tingling toes can be due to causes like Planter Fascitis, Achilles Tendonitis, Bursitis,Tarsal Tunnel syndrome, Rheumatoid arthritis, traumatic injury to heel pad etc..
I would suggest you to consult an Orthopedician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like x ray, MRI Scan, Nerve conduction studies and bone scan CA help in diagnosis and treatment can be planned accordingly..
You can be advised to take anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen..
Apply a combination of analgesic and muscle relaxant gels..
You can take anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen and muscle relaxant like Chlorzoxasone..
You can also be advised Steroid injection.
You can be advised Physiotherapy and stretching exercises..
Orthoses can be advised that can be placed inside your shoes that can help in providing extra support to heels..
Avoid wearing high heals and excess exertion..
You can also be advised night splints that can help in keeping your heels pointing upwards..
Certain surgical procedures can be advised if conservative therapy does not work..

Hope this information helps..
