There are good stretching exercises which will help you heal and an orthodic you can wear at night to continue the stretching. Essentially, the tendon group in the plantar are too tight. The result of the stretching causes a bone spur, which is the slight pulling away of cartilage at the heel.
First thing in the morning, before walking you should gently stretch the tendons and calf muscles. Once healing begins, then regular stretching and exercize will keep the problem at bay.
Thank you for that!
It’s odd. The pain started after I was working on the irrigation system yesterday. I spent a lot of time sitting on my right heel while on the ground working in a catch basin. I wonder if there was a “pulling away” at that point. I’m used to pain in various parts of my body starting small...and then increasing. This was like Boom...there all of a sudden.
Thank you for the stretching instructions. Will get started on that today!
