[QUOTE="fedup, post: 47255, member: 17"] Go to Wal Mart and look in the pain relief section, There is a patch called SALONPAS. When my heel spur was hurting badly, I put one of thes pain patches on the bottom of my foot, and it helped. Also, when I went to the Podiatrist, he took some padding similar to an insole, and made a pad , then taped it on my heel. This helped to reduce the pain. It's the shape of the bottom of your foot, but straight across just short of the arch. I think I used it for about 3 months. I also had ultrasound treatments and heavier duty painkillers to use. I think one of the medications was Baclofen. The Dr also used an injectible steriod, if I am not mistaken. I know that at least two other women at work also used the pain patches for a similar problem. They also help with sciatica, bursitis and arthritis. My pain started about 3 or 4 years ago, but I haven't had any problems for well over 2 years. I do take prescription antiinflammatory and occoasional pain reliever/muscle relaxers now, so those may be a part of the answer. I feel for you, and hope the problem is resolved soon. [/QUOTE]
