Heel spur, what should I do?

The heel spur was at my sister at the age of 17 years. Her heel hurt, especially in the morning, she cried, and I felt sorry for her. Therefore, even if I do not take into account my education in the medical school, I still know about this phenomenon firsthand. I'll tell you about how to get rid of spurs on the heels. My sister was rescued, and she had already forgotten about this problem.

What kind of a heel spur is this? I think that many have heard about this pathology, and in the modern world not only hear about it, but it has become very common. Especially often, cases are found among women living in cities.

Appears heel spur on the sole and represents a proliferation of calcaneus. Sprouting appears as a spine (spur) and, squeezing the soft tissue, of course, causes pain.

The dimensions of the formation can be from 2.3 mm and reach 10 millimeters or more. Such a thorn is usually pointed toward the toes. Appears heel spur, it is believed, as a result of increased stress on the corresponding area of the heel. Also the reasons may be:

• Age changes;
• rheumatism;
• Vascular disorders;
• Consequence of trauma and other causes.

Heel spurs can appear at any age. Older people are prone to pathology due to age-related changes. In young people, the disease can be caused by excess loads on the feet. In the case of my sister, these were intense training in athletics. Today she is healthy.

The first signs of the emergence of this pathology are expressed in the occurrence of pain while supporting the heel. Especially since morning, having risen from bed, the person experiences serious difficulties at the first steps. The pain is sometimes so sharp that it is characterized as a spike protruding in the heel.

Pain can spread throughout the calcaneal surface. If the disease has been subjected to both stops, the movement can become so difficult that it becomes necessary to prescribe a bed rest.
