I am sorry to hear that you have heel pain. I hope the doctor will be able to closely examine your leg and give you a good diagnosis on what’s happening.

It might just be that your body needs more time to heal, but it’ll be good to get the doctor’s opinion and just be sure that there’s no other problems.

Keep us posted, and best wishes..

hi annieh hope your pain is subsiding ? what does your pt meen by “spurs” ??????? get lots of comedy dvd s . ive been down today so watched lee evans on you tube ……. soooooo funny . take care and rest … thats all we can do x

I googled ’spur’ and this was the answer, and what I have felt is exactly as described in the following extract:

The most common cause of heel pain is plantar fascitis which is commonly referred to as a heel spur. Plantar fascia is a broad band of fibrous tissue which runs along the bottom surface of the foot, from the heel to the toes Click here to view diagram. Plantar fascitis is a condition in which the plantar fascia is inflamed. This condition can be very painful and cause considerable amount of suffering.

Long standing inflammation causes the deposition of calcium at the point where the plantar fascia inserts into the heel. This results in the appearance of a sharp thorn like heel spur on x-ray. The heel spur is a-symtomatic (not painful), the pain arises from the inflammation of the plantar fascia. Symptoms include a dull ache which is felt most of the time with episodes of a sharp pain in the center of the heel or on the inside margin of the heel.

Hope no-one else experiences the same …

Annie, so sorry to hear of the heal pain. Maybe this can lift your spirits. Here’s a link to a new MCFC blog on TheOffside, the site where I write my blog for Hamburg:

I almost forgot. . .City play a friendly with HSV in Hamburg 26 July. I’ll be very intersted to see what the sides look like for that match. Cheers!

I love that Jimmie Grimble movie. I’ve seen it at least 3 times. I wish we could have seen the oldies play over here in Canada. But they did show us the men’s and women’s doubles final. Awesome match today though! An instant classic.

All the best with your healing. I sincerely hope you do not have any spurs. I’ve had plantar faciitis and you don’t want it. Good luck!

Thanks all for your good wishes,

Chris, have already checked out the new City site, thanks for that and…

Hoss, plantar facilitis is what my Physio said it’s real name was, if it is that, what treatment did you have for it, I have just been told so far to keep off my foot as much as possible until I see Consultant who will decide whether I need to have an x-ray.

Don’t know about Nadal and Federer but I was exhausted just watching the tennis yesterday, certainly the best tennis game I have seen for years.
