I have a heel spurr, does anyone know of any good remedies???

Question

It's a painful flippin thing, any ideas would be great!!

Answer 1

Heel spurs are treated by measures that decrease the associated inflammation and avoid re injury.  Local ice applications both reduce pain and inflammation.Anti inflammatory medications, such as ibuprofen or injections of cortisone are often helpful. Orthotic devices or shoe inserts are used to take pressure off plantar spurs (donut-shaped insert) and heel lifts can reduce stress on the Achilles tendon to relieve painful spurs at the back of the heel. Similarly, sports running shoes with their soft, cushioned soles can be helpful in reducing irritation of inflamed tissues from heel spurs. Infrequently surgery is performed on chronically inflamed spurs.

This is an old indian remedy : Take a piece of brown wrapping paper (grocery bag ok) and cut into shape to fit in heel of shoe. Soak well in Apple Cider Vinegar, place in shoe and wear every day soaking periodically. Within 2-3 weeks the spur should be completely gone.

I hope this was helpful,Take Care!!! :)
