How do I know if I have a heel spur or plantar fasciitis?
-
I have this really bad, stabbing pain in the bottom of my heel, and it feels like I'm stepping on a sharp rock, especially after I sit down for a while or first thing when I get out of bed. It usually gets a little better after I walk around for ten minutes, but it comes right back later in the day. I looked up my symptoms, and now I'm confused because the description of the pain for both plantar fasciitis and having a heel spur seems to be exactly the same. I don't know if I should be treating a bone issue or a problem with the band of tissue under my foot. I'm worried about treating the wrong thing and wasting the time it could be healing. Are there any sure ways to confirm one way or the other without a doctor visit?
