I have a heel spur and plantar fascitis, also had a popping sound about 4 months ago and still in pain, please help

I was diagnosed with a heel spur just over a year ago, I have had 3 steroid injections but with no relief, Had a popping sound and severe pain about 4 months ago, went to A&E told to get another injection and this would cure it, as this hasnt happened had mri 5 weeks ago saying looks like it had ruptured got results saying poss rupture or tear got a lump underneath apparently, nothing they could do, go home take painkillers (tramadol) and it will heal itself, surely if after 4 months the pain has got no better, it wont heal itself, Please any advice as so fed up being in pain the whole time.

So sorry you are in constant pain. I have plantar fasciitis too. I've been given great insoles with really built up arch supports, as mine is due to very high arches. The insoles really help. I never walk barefoot anymore. Wearing slight heels help too. Go back to GP or podiatrist. Keep trying.

Many thanks for replying have got intouch with a podiatrist hoping to see next week, how long have you been suffering? Have already tried insoles but don't help unfortunately all suggestions much appreciated

I bought some plantar fascitis splints on the internet and they work wonderfully. I wear then in bed - with a pillow between my knees - and they work wonder for the next day. You could try these.

Hope this helps. S x
