Welcome to the plantar fasciitis gang. I suffered with this for about 4 years from 2005 and it's also called "policeman's heel". It would become tolerable until the annual fitness test shuttle run would fuck it up again. I haven't noticed it since 2010 but now the other foot is suffering with it. Back in 05 I went to see, who I was told was "the expert" and he said do the exercises and live it. There was an operation for it but he said the outcome is not always better.
Took an injury to my foot several weeks ago. It wasn’t getting better so I attended minor injuries two weeks ago where an X-ray showed I have a spur of bone growing on my heel. Just been told today that my NHS trust doesn’t do operations to remove spurs. Looks like I can count out walking and running for the rest of my life then.
It’s the latest in a string of niggling injuries that is tightening the screw on activities in general for the last 18 months.
