I recently experienced stabbing pain in my left heel, just behind my ankle bone. It was unbearable pain occurring in the middle of a sound sleep. It stopped and started several times for an hour, lasting a few minutes each time. It hasn t happened again since. I also have burning and tingling in my toes, both feet. I have a lot of neck pain in my upper spine, and frequently sharp pains under my right ribs. Can all these pains be related? If so, what might be the cause? I am a 78 year old female.
