Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your complain heel spur are formed when there is calcium deposition underneath the heel bone and it can lead to pain in heels as well as soft tissue inflammation..
I would suggest you to consult a Podiatrist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and x ray can help in diagnosis and treatment plan..
As of now you can do cool compresses to reduce soft tissue inflammation and pain ..
You can also take anti inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen and muscle relaxant like Chlorzoxasone.
You can also put orthotic shoe inserts that are done shaped and reduce pressure from spurs thereby reducing pain and inflammation..
You can also wear soft cushion footwear and sports shoes.
In case of no resolution consult an Orthopaedic surgeon and he can also advise steroid injections and in conditions not responding to conservative treatment surgery can be advised..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
