QuestionI already had some pain when I wake up in morning and when I walk,, currently I am using shoe inserts) from Merrell shoes..which says air cushion...
but yesterday I had to run for about 500 feet and now right foot has got worse...
when I touch it and with my little understanding of foot anotomy I can say its tender when am touching around back of calcaneus bone....can I say it subcuteneous calcaneal bursitis?
tenderness is not on the bottom.....
its on medial and posterior side of calcaneus bone and its about an inch above from bottom of foot..
AnswerDear Evan,
This Orthopedic Chicago Podiatrist located in West Loop 60661,Roscoe Village 60618, Elmhurst 60126 & Bartlett 60103 says...
Sounds like tendonitis of the Achilles Tendon. The shoe inserts will not help the tendonitis. Rest and heel lifts may help.
Hope this helps.
Good Luck!
