u cant cure it by a homeopathic medicine. it is a bone spurt into the tissue and the onl way to "fix it " would be to go to a padiatrist aka a foot dr. he will opper8 and file it down.

Hi, I had the same problem before. Use heel cushions with your shoes. You will have a relief for sure.\nGood luck!

Doesn't sound like tendonitis if it's on your immediate heel. It sounds like you may have a spur. The only way to know for sure is to have it x-rayed and then surgically removed. For healing tendonitis the only thing you can do is immobilize it. Don't use it. And once you get tendonitis you'll always have it. Tendonitis is cause from repetitious movement and the only way to get it to keep from coming back once it goes away is to stop the repetitious movement.When it's active immoblize and take Ibuprofen.

Ice it, keep off of it, keep it elevated, take some NSAID's.  (Non steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs)   If it gets worse, Definitely take it to a Doctor.  Take it to One now If you can't move your toes or foot, or if it hurts too much to put wieght on, or if it looks or feels bad enough to raise serious concern.  But if all it is is a Little swelling, don't worry about It To Much.  \n\nFeel Better\n\nUncle Mike

Try soaking your foot in the hottest water you can stand, with a little bath oil in the water. Soak for about 30 minutes. Dry, then take a pumice stone and gently rub it over the corn, making sure it doesn't hurt too much. Then, put some really good body lotion on your feet. Repeat the next day, until the corn is gone. It might take several days, maybe weeks, but it will often go away. If not, you might have to have surgery anyway. Always make sure your shoes fit properly, with plenty of room for your toes to move. Always wear socks with your shoes. And do a foot treatment at least once a week. No time? Put a plug in the shower and while you shower, let the shower fill with water, soaking your feet as you wash. You can even add a little bath oil. Dry and moisturize. This is also the best time to cut your nails. Take care of your feet and they'll take care of you. <*)))><

have a foot spa. it will get rid of dead skin including corns.  When they're gone, buy a very comfortable pair of shoes and use slippers instead when inside the house to prevent corns from coming back.

Surgery is the worst case alternative to cure the plantar's fasciitis.  However, specially made orthotic inserts from the podiatrist did wonders for me personally.  Other suggestions would be losing weight if you are over weight, and spending less time up on your feet.  Make sure you are walking properly with heel to toe steps.

Have you tried putting white athletic tape on your heels...you could also wrap with "pre-wrap" (so the tape doesnt stick to your skin, it looks like yellow foam on a roll, really thin stuff).\nYou could also try "Mole Skin"\n\nGood Luck!

I usually get this problem during the winter, but for some reason right now have that problem even with wearing regular shoes and it has been like summer for a number of months now.  I recently bought Avon's Foot Works cracked heel relief cream.  It works very well, and also has lidocaine in it so it will help the pain.  I highly recommend it.  I cannot give you a direct webpage at Avon as when I did a search it did not give an exact url.  You can just go to their site and do a search for the name.

Stand on a stair with the ball of your foot on the first step.  Let your heel fall down below the step then squeeze your calf muscle to raise it above the step.  Work the calf muscle till it is sore. Rinse, repeat every other night.\n\nOn the off nights, watch tv while standing on the sides of your feet.  Its kinda like standing on your pinkie toe.  raise and lower your body by the ankles while standing this way till the sides of your shins ache. Rinse and repeat.

no cure. but better shoes will help, so will support stockings. use some liniment like Ben gay on your legs when you get home.  I think the occasional soaking in warm Epsom salts will also help.  buy ankle weights and use them with leg exercises to help make your muscles stronger.\n\nMake an appointment with a podiatrist (foot doctor) \n(to be sure the problem isn't a medical one or becomes one like flat foot or fallen arches, he should also have some good suggestions to help the aches, In some states (But not all) he may also be able to help you with your employer esp if you would need something like a high stool to sit on near the register between helping people.     (work related medical injury problem, discrimination against handicap etc/))

Try attaching industrial bed springs to the under soles of your basketball shoes. Alternatively, you could consume a sack of frog's leg which might help.

Try a splint with duct tape.

Well, you just need TIME.  Got any shoes that are too big...or borrow some...or send a family member to Target to buy some really soft  black slippers that look kinda like boots and will  be  barely noticable.  don't know of anything to speed up healing.

Been there and done that. I sympathize with you.\n\nFor a temporary fix, you need to get sport tape and tape up your arches. You must hold your foot so that it is in a normal standing position while you're taping. Do not let your feet into a relaxed position while taping, or you won't be able to stand up when you're done. Start taping on the top of your foot behind but near the widest part of your foot, right behind the toes. Continue taping, slightly diagonally as far back as is practical. The downside of this is that you've got to peel that tape back off at the end of the day. And that is NOT fun--talk about a STRANGE feeling as you pull it off the bottom of the foot. But at least this should get you through temporarily.\n\nFor a permanent solution, you will need to see a podiatrist and obtain orthotics for your shoes. These are tailor-made inserts, molded exactly to fit your foot. They are rather expensive (mine were about $350 about seven years ago), but many health insurance policies cover them. Even if they don't, believe me they are worth the cost.\n\nIf you have plantar faciitis in both feet, expect it to take at least a year of wearing the orthotics to completely heal. (You'll see marked improvement much sooner than that, though.)\n\nOne major no-no for those who have plantar faciitis--NEVER go barefoot or wear shoes without good arch support. That lets the arch drop again.
