So after a week of being shutdown to see how my heel reacted, I am back doing full activities in PT. No bursitis (thank god!), it was just some scar tissue and calcification in the bottom of the heel that we were able to get rid of with ultrasound. The best news is that I get to return to the firehouse on Monday! Still have some serious work to do with getting my strength up but I am moving at a real good pace.

So I haven’t read about anyone getting this on their road to recovery so I thought I’d ask. Anyone develop Bursitis in their heel after going to full impact and 100% activities? After 3 PT sessions at full strength I have developed a lot of pain in the heel of the recovering leg. The pain is the worst on impact and also pushing off. my PT shut me down over the weekend and because it wasn’t any better, they did some ultrasound and another electro shock thing with an anti-inflammatory medicine to soak through. They haven’t officially diagnosed it as bursitis, but because it isn’t getting better they are leaning toward it. Anyone with any experience with this??
