Suggest Treatment For Pain In Heels In Kid
my 10 yr old daughter is suffering from pain in her heel for a few weeks now. It happens when she is walking. There is a tiny pin prick red dot on her heel that when pushed causes the same pain she gets when walking. her only only other possible syptom may be that she always shakes her legs

HI
She probably has a heel spur--a small extra growth of bone on the calcaneus
Shoe inserts can help but she may need a cortisone injection so have her doctor take a look and get an x-ray of her foot
