  • 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.

  • 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.
