Sports heel pain

Heel pain is a very common symptom, and most of the time it often occurs during exercise. The main symptom is pain after walking a few steps. The more you walk, the more obvious the pain will be. This may be due to bone spurs in the joints, fat pad injuries, and symptoms of bursitis. Therefore, patients need to choose appropriate methods for treatment, conditioning and diagnosis based on the actual condition of their body.

Pathological symptoms

Heel pain is a symptom that can have many causes. The main symptom is heel pain, which sometimes involves pain in the back of the calf. Patients are afraid to exert force or walk directly when getting up in the morning. The pain worsens when standing up after sitting for a long time.
