Severe heel pain, been to several Dr’s and no relief.
by: SC on Wed, Apr 15 2009

I have severe heel pain (including tingling, burning and sharp shooting pains) on bottom of foot, inner heel where the heel pad meets the soft arch (not back of foot). In both feet (equally). I’ve had plantar fasciitis surgery…pain is worse. I’ve had bone scan-no fractures seen. I’ve had MRI-no soft tissue damage seen. Blood testing…no inflammation seen. Had nerve conduction test and immediately was crying because pain was too severe to bear. I’ve had cortisone shots, worn orthotics and taken Lyrica-none helped. I’ve been wearing air compression walking boots for 2 weeks and feel no relief. Rest and staying off my feet relieves the pain. Standing or walking causes severe pain (enough to upset my stomach and give me headaches). Do you have any suggestions for me? I can’t seem to find a doctor that can help me.
