Q. What can cause heel pain?
Hi doctor, I am a 67 year old male. I am overweight, mildly diabetic and have high BP. I have pain on backside of my left heel. It increases in the evening. I think I have Achilles tendinitis. Please help.
Hello. 1. Recent blood tests like CBC (complete blood count), ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate), CRP (C-reactive protein) and serum uric acid. 2. X-ray ankle - lateral view. 3. A clinical picture showing exact site of pain and inflammation, so that the pathology can be estimated. 1. Achilles tendonitis (Achilles tendinitis). 2. Plantar Fasciitis. 3. Bony spurs.
