Introduction to “heel pain” (heel pain)

  ”Heel pain” (heel pain), a disease named after the pain in the heel, is a condition caused by chronic strain around the heel nodes, mainly pain and difficulty walking, often accompanied by the formation of bone spurs in the heel nodes. The disease is most common in middle-aged and elderly people aged 40 to 60 years old and obese people. Clinical heel pain is often accompanied by bone spur formation, but the degree of heel pain is not proportional to the size of the bone spur, but rather to the direction of the bone spur.  If the spur is oblique to the bottom, there is often pain, but if the spur is parallel to the heel bone, there may be no symptoms. Although there are various causes of heel pain, the main cause is chronic inflammation of the metatarsal tendon membrane or the attachment of the Achilles tendon.  The common causes are as follows: 1, heel fat pad inflammation or atrophy; 2, plantar fasciitis; 3, heel spur; 4, heel hypertension; 5, heel subacromial bursitis.  Etiology: Achilles tendon stop bursitis: mainly due to the friction of shoes, especially women often wear high-heeled shoes, the back of the shoe and repeated friction between the heel nodes, resulting in chronic aseptic inflammation of the bursa at the heel nodes, so that the bursa increases, the bursa wall thickening, the occurrence of the disease.
