Hello! I had a calcaneus fracture 11 months ago! The problem is i cannot walk properly I didn’t go through the operation I thought it will heal every time i step on it its really hurt.. i hope u can see it so u can advice any therapy on this... Thanks a lot 🙏
Calcaneus injuries can frequently lead to subtalar joint pain. This video may help! czcams.com/video/O_T6_xHTph0/video.html
Controlling pronation can help with more chronic injuries.
I have no bump at all, but the pain is definitely in the "bursa" area. I got hit in that exact spot by a very heavy metal door and the door stop cut the area very deeply. I didn't do anything about it and it took forever to heal and that is where the pain is. I also wear backless shoes and flip-flops 24/7 (California beach gal) so I think all of this combined is the cause. I just don't know what to do. Saw my Kaiser podiatrist and amy see a different on from a different hospital. I can't sleep in the boot...ugh...and just live with it but any suggestions you have would be awesome. My pain level is pretty constant but a 4/10 so I ignore it and hope it will vanish on it's own.
Is it possible to only feel pain on the right side? None at all on the left.
THE most helpful and clearly addressed way to diagnose and treat heel bursitis on the internet! Well done, and many thanks to you Doc!

Thank you so much for this wonderful video 🎉 I now know what this pain is - I'd been changing so many shoes and still in great pain - but now first stop to podiatrist ❤
Very informative and helpful. Thankyou! Cheers, Rob.
I had this issue. After seeing a lot of doctors I couldn't get it fixed. Then I found one small exercise that helps a lot. Stand on your toes and raise your hill for twenty secs.

Thank you for the wonderful diagram you drew on your foot! What a fantastic idea!! I was fishing about 4 months ago and I was walking up a very steep incline with rods in one hand and tackle in another and I remember feeling my right heel rrrrreeeeally stretch at a hyper extended forward angle, after that it was sore the next day but felt better after a few days. But ever since then I get soreness about once every 3-4 weeks. I had a cramp at night the other night and the next morning I literally could not step on my right foot and for almost 2 days I was limping around the house. I saw your video, iced it, elevated it at night, and took anti inflammatories and its now much much better. To make a short story long (LOL) your video really helped me out. Thank you for posting and sharing your knowledge in a creative and clear way. Make it a great day !

This was so helpful. I've been struggling with different doctors and this pain for years now. They have checked every foot disorder but gave up on me literally.. doctors say I have heel spur and too much fluid in my heel area. but say it's normal... going back soon and get tested for this. I'm afraid of injections in my heel tho
Wear a boot with a heel helps me. 50% Voltaren gel abs 50% hirudoid cream wrapped up with glad wrap over night helped me.
Thank you for that information i feel that pain now i know how to heel and to exercise to heel the pain.
Lots of great info, thank you!

Jesus, I think I have this !!! Thx for the Video
I have a pea sized painful lump right there. It is agony to walk up hills. The lump is soft and painful to touch and 'stings' when resting. It feels like I have insects crawling up my shin and I feel a sharp crunch when caught off guard moving around at times. Doc said to give it two weeks and ring back for an physio appointment which has a 6 month waiting list. I am scared I will do more damage. This has been 5 weeks now and getting worse. Thanks for the video. Very helpful because I thought I had Achilles heel problems.
Very nice! ❤️

I was diagnosed with chronic pain in both my heels after an injury (falling from height).
The pain was so bad, it felt like my feet were on fire, worn-out and throbbing.
By chance i found out the podiatrist has a pulse wave machine.
I go there every 6 weeks and get this pulse therapy on the inside of my heels.
I dont get the servere burning feeling anymore. After the treatment my heels feel great..but shortly after an itchyness comes back and some discomfort.
Bought some Hoka running shoes and they aggravated mine! Been acting up since last December
I’m sure I’ve finally found what has left me racked with pain for several weeks now. Thank you. In this case, it did not manifest over time, but in one brief instant. I am on my feet all day, every day at work or for recreation. I suppose this was inevitable, but I should be quite spry at 35. I was breaking down some odds and ends of firewood for smoking and miscalculated the force needed to crack a few in half via a good ol’ fashioned heel stomp. Went right through and put the full force directly onto concrete. Recoiled instantly in pain. Something was definitely wrong. X-ray at Doctor next day. Just bruising, possible stress fracture. Heel should heal properly on its own...just have some down time for 2-4 weeks. No chance. Especially at this time; that’s entirely unaffordable. I’ve been hobbling around, hiding my awkward gait whenever possible. I’m going to purchase insoles in the morning. I hope the insoles, combined with mild stretching will do the trick. I cannot go on like this for much longer. Thank you for the information.
Hope you feel better soon!
How'd it work out as far as heeling? I'm 36 and it's been going on for 2 weeks. I am on my feet all day (step tracker for past 8 months shows that I walk 300 miles a month) and 2-4 weeks of downtime isn't an option. Hiding the gimp is definitely a thing. This just came out of no where.

Greetings from Turkey. I am dealing with this problem / pain for almost 8 years. I think this video shares the most useful things to help for treatment. I am now 100% sure that my problem is "retrokalkaneal bursit" . I have a haglund bump and the pain is very near to the area that heel bone and achilles tendon meets.
Within these years, I got physiotherapy, I had an injection once (4 years ago), pyhsio again, strengthening, etc... Pain goes, and comes again. In the past months it got worse, the bump got a little bit bigger and I cannot play football for a long time because of the pain. Many doctors cannot address the problem correctly. Thank you for sharing!
"Many doctors cannot address the problem correctly." True, because they rather have surgery done to profit from your pain, the world is not what a used to be, full of greedy doctors out there in this new world.
Yup def have this - no spur...just overdid it - ice and heel lifts - no more running for me - calf raises will be good too - foam roll yup
Great video. I had a couple bouts of pain in my heel so bad it literally crippled me for weeks at a time. After x-rays and exams, a doctor AND podiatrist misdiagnosed me - plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis. They gave me these calve stretches to do, similar to advice I’d seen on other videos (heel drops, wall stretches). They stressed arch support in shoes. I spent big money on orthopedic shoes. It kept coming back. Turns out I had heel bursitis - something no one had mentioned. I stopped the calf stretching and bought simple heel raisers on Amazon for less than 20 US dollars and it's worked like a miracle.
I was thinking my may be plantars fasciitis again but it was only on my heel and on the outer side of my heel. Did u have pain on the outer side of the heal too when going down steps? The bottom of my foot doesn’t hurt at all. It’s so crazy :(
@@carolynhummel4791 the pain was concentrated directly in back of my heel. It was so painful just lying on the bed with my feet up hurt where the heel touched the mattress

Great video. Any suggestions on how to stretch the calf without aggravating the bursa?
Finally! I've been trying to figure out what the shooting/nerve pain is in the back of my heel whenever I raise my toes (walking, etc.). Getting in to see a podiatrist right now will take me at least two months. I thought maybe achilles tendinitis, but you showing exactly where the pain would be cleared up my confusion. Much appreciated. You have a new subscriber here!
Hello did you resolve your problem? I’m having the same issue an it hurts alot
@@Siccck1, yes, finally resolved. It took cutting back on my exercises and incorporating more stretching. I hope you're able to get some relief!!

Thank you for this video, this is helpul. I gained weight since lockdock down. I think i need to lose weight. This is really painful
Would you recommend wearing the sleeve on the foot while you have a bursa? Thank you so much :)
I have pain and inflammation exactly where you are describing that just doesn’t seem to go away. I also have high arches and underpronate. Would you still recommend an orthotic?
What footwear I can use at home for Retrocalcaneal Bursitis. I do have flat feet too. Should I wear Arch support or heel support footwear ?
I've got retro calcaneal heel spurs on the back of both my heels.
I have a lot of heel pain and was diagnosed with both heel bursitis and heel spurs in both heels. I'm 60 years old and I've been in pain for about six months. Doctor said aside from surgery to exercise and get better fitting shoes. He said the bursitis might go away but the spurs will be there until I get surgery. It's my understanding that spurs by themselves do NOT cause heel pain but bursitis does. Is that correct?
This is the exact injury I got when I went snowboarding too much. I overworked it. I guess the solution is to massage it? And to take it easy on it to let it heal.
Thank you for this super informative video. I have had heel pain on my right side for 2.5 weeks.
Glad it was helpful!
Ouch, that is tough for sure! We really hope you feel better.
Just make sure to see a podiatrist in the future if your problem continues.
We really, really appreciate you as a fan and than you for watching!
@@DrTomBiernacki made an apt. with a podiatrist for this week! Thank you!
Thank you very much for making this video. I have a small but painful problem with my Retrocalcaneal Bursitus. It is self caused by wearing a pair of sneakers that I purchased last summer that were just a fraction of a size too small. They were a teeny bit uncomfortable but as they were Fabric ‘Sketchers’ I thought that over time they would stretch a bit and give slightly.
This suddenly overnight changed and caused enough pain for a couple of days to prevent walking. After two to three days the problem vanished and I threw the shoes out.
The problem now however is that if ever I rest my heel (subconsciously) on say a coffee table, the problem reappears and I can’t walk for a day again until the problem goes away again.
In your opinion is there a permanent solution to this or is it something I will just have to live with?
N.B in my normal everyday life this problem does not manifest itself in anyway, I can walk, run, stretch, jump etc with no problem. If however I Forgetfully Rest my heel on a table for 5 minutes , while say reading the paper, it’s back to square one for one or two days.
This looks to be my issue. Time to see a podiatrist. Mine is super painful. I am an athlete and within my BMI. The cause is likely a trauma of some kind, overuse, or over-compensation after having PF surgery. I also experience throbbing pain while laying down in the same area, I assume this is just a severe time of inflammation when this occurs? Thanks for the video!!!
Ugh! I can't even stand to watch you touch the heel at the beginning of the video. Thank you for this information. I've been in pain for years with this
How often should PRP be used and at what interval?
What I found interesting with my pain...is that when my muscles and tendons are in contraction, I can't palpable the pain...but when I relax my calf and my tendon, it is like I can get behind my tendon and I can feel the pain on the heel bone.
So I guess it's bursa definitely.
What are things to avoid to prevent it coming back?
I have been dealing with this for three years now. Three different doctors and still no real answers or relief in my pain. This video explained it better than they did. Just wondered if anyone has had toe twitching because of this? About a year ago my second and third toes just randomly move…more so if I am massaging the Achilles tendon.
does it hurt more after sitting for long periods if you have this?
Yes
Hi Dr, Sorry, Im from peru, i have one question, this injury can be felt on the peroneal side?
When you get into your 30s that's when you'll start to get these type of functional injuries. And this has been kicking my ass this year.
It's really annoying ☹️
For months, up until a couple days ago, I had such pain and tightness back there when I'd rotate my foot/ankle (particularly inward rotation in attempt to loosen. Not sure if the issue was bursa or tendon. I only know that after I received prayer for healing, it went away.
This is the second time I've had long time chronic foot related pain, and had it healed through prayer.
I'm all for seeing a doctor, and have (chiropractor who specializes in feet).
I'd like to know what caused it, so I can prevent it.
This was a very helpful video, thanks!

I'm happy if these treatments work for some people, but none of them have worked for me :(
So I tore my ligament years ago and I’ve always used an ankle brace when doing sports since then now I have Retrocarcaneal bursitis and have been trying to treat it to get back into playing tennis. Could you recommend me a good combo of ankle support and heel support for flat feet so I can be as protected as possible? Thanks in advance
Even I have this problem,plus I'm flat footed as well .. please suggest me some ways to reduce the pain.. but I don't want to take painkillers. What's the way out?
Yea I had pain, let it go, realized it was the more minimum shoes, got stability plus shoes but cant run in them since I’m letting the swelling go down. It’s been 10 days and I’m still not there yet. Hope it goes away and doesn’t come back. Guess I’ll have to stretch now since 10 plus years i’ve never stretched. I think it’s been 3 years in the minimum shoes.
Good news, I have a really nice road bike for 20/30/10 mile rides sat/mon/thu. Bad news I have an academy I have to go to in february and hope this doesn’t affect that.
After runs or after hike , I have had a achilles tendon injury.. so , can any doctor or surgeon do to fix a my legs achilles ?
My mothers heel bone size has increased in both the legs and she is not able to walk properly. Please tell me what to do and to which doctor we should go...calcaneous bone has size has increased.... please help
I am struggling with some minor bursitis and am very worried as I am training for a marathon if I keep cross training and the addition of the insoles, do you think it’s reasonable to think I’ll be ready in 10 weeks. I already in good shape, it’s just a matter of nipping this issue. I am 26 and very active person. I blame this new development on a new pair of shoes.
How would you treat a posterior calcaneal spur fracture
I sprained my ankle little over two weeks ago. I’ve have had normal pain where I sprained the ankle, but I have started to get pain exactly in this position. I trained yesterday, can I keep playing?
Trie doctor. I am suffering from calcaneal bursities since November 2021. Even now I have difficulty in walking without heel slippers. Will it cure. Sir .physiotherapy,stretching exercise,ice etc. I am a teacher working since 34 years. Please let me know
I have these since 2012.. i wish this video will help me...
How did you withstand it all these years? Didnt it hurt everyday? I feel very sorry. I hope you finally heal up.
I'm not on my feet for long periods of time. I do swim, even though I'm disabled. This severe pain in the back of my heel came on suddenly. It's causing me to not be able to walk, without severe pain
