Well, I finally went to a Podiatrist/Sports Medicine Dr. I explained the pain I started getting in my heel when I started spinning and riding about a month ago. We pushed on my heel and I almost went through the roof. Well, an x-ray later....sure enough he walked in and said you have a HUGE heel spur and showed me the xray He gave me stretching exercises to do, told me to ice it and take motrin for the next 5 days. If it doesn't calm down I'm going to have to have surgery! Well, I've kept riding it still hurts but not as bad. I did 24 miles yesterday and it hurt a little. Now, my left heel is starting to hurt! Oh, well, he thinks it was from all my years of running and the spinning and cycling have just irritated it.
Anyone else ever had a heel spur and if so please tell me there is an alternative to surgery!
Thanks
