What Causes Painful Soft Spot On Left Heel?
I have a soft spot on the back of my left hill. Not including the gout in left foot. It hurts when I step off and now I have to pretty much walk on my toes to stay off the hill. I havent been to the doctor yet. But I don t know if its a bone spur or corn

I think it can be Retrocalcaneal bursitis. It is due to spur in the bone and it causes collection of the fluid in the back of heel. It is more of a collection of fluid in the bursa. It can be treated with following treatment.
1. Hot water fomentation
2. injection of steroid in the heel. It should be done by a trained orthopaedic surgeon.
3.calf stretching exercises
4. Tablet Brufen twice daily or Nimesulide twice daily
5. Shoe heel elevation to relax tendoachilis.
