I have had a painful heel for around three years. Initially caused by pressure when in bed, I also get it if I tuck my feet under when sitting on the sofa or chair. At first it would happen for a couple of weeks then seemed to be ok for a couple of weeks but has been constant now for a couple of years. I have been to a physio and to a Podiatrist. No one can explain what is causing the pain my MS Nurse said not caused by MS my Podiatrist thinks it’s coming from my back. However he has had an ultrasound scan done to rule out Plantar Fasciitis sent me to a different Physio, who he said is the best in the area and I have to say he was very thorough. Podiatrist has now made an appointment for an MRI on my foot (28th January) and has ordered a nerve conduction test no date yet. It’s like having toothache in my heel which spreads round to the side of my foot, If they end up saying it’s MS I don’t know what I’ll do, I take 2,100mg of Gabapentin daily for other MS problems surely if it’s Nerve pain the Gabapentin would help. I find the only thing that helps a little is to keep my feet flat on the floor. I don’t feel it when I’m walking about only when I’m resting yet the more I’m on my feet the more pain I feel when I do rest. I feel no pain at all when my heel is examined and believe me they’ve tried their best prodding and poking but I can’t say it hurts when is doesn’t. Jan x
