      It is helping me. I develop bursitis using a newer pair if soccer cleats, combined with up the heal running (this helped my knees). Using a higher pad in my heel helped immensely. Stretching helps in multiple ways. Basically the stretching part of the video is what is helping the most! I know this will not cure in 5 or 6 days. So far I am in my 3rd week and still feeling soar every morning. I am confident I will cure soon.

    @Lancaster-nx1pt 10 місяців тому +4

    I thought that we should avoid stretching the hamstring if you have retrocalcaneal bursitis, since it puts more pressure on the bursa that is already inflamed. Others have stated this and it makes total sense.

    Thanks for the great info 😊
    Barefoot training on elliptical machines can be a great way to strengthen your feet and improve balance. Not only does this type of training increase the efficiency of exercise, it also strengthens the muscles responsible for protecting the joints in the foot. Going barefoot on elliptical machines also helps reduce your risk of injury as you are not wearing shoes that may have poor fit, cushioning or support. Additionally, going barefoot on elliptical machines increases proprioception, which is our body’s ability to sense the amount of force placed upon our feet, and helps us adjust appropriately to different surfaces.

Now my heel hurts so bad that I can't put on my boots. I've bought sketchers slip resistant working shoes, and just recently bought sketchers crocs.
    This pain has made me begin looking for other work. Walking is so painful.

    I was just diagnosed with this and a small bone spur after getting X-rays by a podiatrist, but I have very little pain. What happens is that after I run or play soccer I get a dime sized swollen area on the back of my right heel. It looks like a blister but it isn’t red or sore, and within 24 hours it goes away. Hopefully I can find a way to stop it reoccurring after every run or soccer game.

And osgood schlatter symdrome on knee. Hopefully not all spurs. Thanks so much for your videos

  • @Rene-uz3eb
    @Rene-uz3eb Рік тому +1

    Just a quick tangent. Upon learning how much different fascia tissue is from ligament tissue, I’m doubling down on my earlier hypothesis what foot doctors have it backward. The plantar fasciitis should not be supported with arch support insoles. The fascia has blood supply and is extremely dynamic/adjustable. For one, if you continually press with arch support against the plantar fascia (on barefoot walking nothing presses against the fascia as it’s underneath the arch), you are cutting off its blood supply, by pressing it against the bones.

    Over the past year I made the transition to barefoot shoes. Walking in barefoot shoes I have had no problems. However, at age 50, I decided to sign up for a softball tournament and wore barefoot shoes. During practice I was fine, but yesterday we played 4 games in about 5 1/2 hours. All that running did a number on my left heal. My right heal is a bit tender, but my left foot is what I lead of with, that and I haven’t trained myself to run without heal striking.

      Barefoot shoes are not for everyone. However, people who can use them are very happy. The biggest change is that while walking, your body weight is moved from heel to toes, so your walking pattern and technique change significantly.

I am a huge walker (4 to 5 miles) 5 to 6 times a week and I also will throw in intervals. I've been doing this for almost 3 years now but the pain started in May. It was when I would do the intervals that I would get this intense pain afterward on occasion. I am going to try your exercises and look for a better shoe in addition to doing other exercises.

      We find a common scenario is that there is not a disease process, but chronic pain, heavy activity, with a slightly tighter achilles compensating for tight and tired joints at the end of a long work shift. Very common to see this when someone comes for a 2nd or 3rd opinion after extensive testing not really showing anything, because there is nothing to really show.

    You can also try to refrain from too much long walking .
    Even though some people has to work 2 jobs long hours walking.
    This tip seems to help.
    Tape 4 pieces of electric tape on both heels .
    The electric tape blocks friction stops inflammation.
    Costs about $10.00
    A roll average cost.
    A roll lasts 6 months.
    Then after applying the tape put on 3 pairs socks each foot.
    And try to avoid high heel shoes because the Truth is high heels type shoes - is not the natural foot formation. Foot was created to be level
    To the ground flat . For proper balance.
    This electric tape and 3 pairs of socks everyday.
    Heel the problem 👍

    I'm curious about if the way you sleep impacts your bursa as well. I've had bursitis twice now and each time it has happened after sleeping. I was fine the night before. It only happens to me on the foot I sleep with fully extended toes pointed to the bottom of the bed with my shins and top of foot and toes on the mattress. Could this stretched position negatively impact my achilles tendon and give me bursitis?

    I got mine from running barefooted. I started off by running off and on for a couple of miles every few days for a few weeks with shoes. Then, one day I decided to run a couple of Miles without shoes after listening to the book Born to Run (not blaming the book). It was absolutely wonderful at first. I was able to run further distances without slowing down to catch my breath and I simply enjoyed it more. My ankle started hurting after about the first mile or so, but I kept trying to run because I thought it was just regular soreness. I ran and walked the last mile home and haven't been able to run since without paying. It's been about 4 weeks now I believe. The pain is gone the majority of the time now when I'm just walking, but if I try to run it starts hurting a little bit again. So, I am trying to make myself wait a little bit longer before trying to run again.

    The pain is from muscle cramping/tightness pulling hard on the tendon. Most people and doctors miss this and will send spiraling In debt or further damage from incorrectly making you take meds, stretching that further injuring your bursa. Massage the muscles and see what nutrients your are deficient. Exercise more after healing. Use a boot cast until your damaged bursa is healed. Then exercise slowly to regain muscle health.

      Haglund is not a problem. I mean that visible tumor or bone is not a problem. The problem is that bursitis around Achilles tendon. It just presses and causes pain. Try to start day with icing (10-15 minutes) and rolling (massaging up and down)the calf. Do it for 2-3 weeks 4-5 times per day. After that try to raise foot effort so maybe swimming, biking, slow running and week by week it should be much better. Good luck

I could not put any pressure on the heel at all but some ibuprofen and rest seems to have helped a bit!
